Queer Pleasure Archive: Performative-Self-Portraits & Photo-Embroidery

This July we welcome the Queer Pleasure Archive to Baltic Library, taking a fresh look at the library collection through a queer lens and making interventions that celebrate queer creativity, history and experience. Join this two-part event led by Sarah Li to open-up the Queer Pleasure Archive with creative activities, growing the archive into a new printed publication.

This event is led by and designed for members of the queer community. Allies are also welcome. Suitable for ages 16+. If you are unable to attend we are unfortunately unable to refund your ticket.

When booking your ticket(s) for the sessions, please book the two dates sperately. Book Sat 11 July Performative-Self-Portraits (Part 1) first, process your payment and then begin the booking process for Sat 25 July Photo-Embroidery (Part 2) seperately. You must be booked onto the first workshop to attend the second, and vice versa.

*Concessions: student, unwaged & 65+
