Queer Care Caravan Film Library

Inspired by the use of caravans as a therapeutic retreat, the Queer Care Caravan is an artist residency hosted by The Burr of Berwick, exploring resilient LGBTQIA+ community-led care across a Film Library exhibition, workshops and screenings.

The Film Library features a curated selection of video works and queer and trans care media, archival ephemera and community care resources with cooperation from Lothian Health Services Archive, Edinburgh, Tyne and Wear Archives and UK trans mutual aid groups and transnational LGBTQIA support groups, past and present.

The free Queer Care Caravan workshops are facilitated by LGBTQIA+ artists Cannach MacBride, Conal McStravck, and Mikki who have also curated the video works and archive materials in the exhibition. Come along to share food, have discussions and meet new people.
