Join a free workshop exploring queer helplines, archives, and sound.

Come along to imagine futures of care on Saturday 21 February, with a workshop facilitated by archivists Conal McStravick and Louise Neilson.

In this workshop, we will share cross-border histories of lesbian and gay support networks – drawing from switchboards, groups, and media collections. Together, we will explore how connections might be formed beyond visibility, and how listening to earlier practices can inspire new approaches to mutual support today within cultural, rural, and international contexts.
