Join us to celebrate the launch of Global Queer and Feminist Visual Activism – A Special Issue of the Journal of Cultural Analysis and Social Change.
What is the role of visual culture and art in today’s global queer and feminist movements? Together with SEAS (Socially Engaged Art Salon) we invite you to an afternoon of sampling some of the content of this special issue which seeks to foreground queer and feminist visual activism from across the globe, with articles addressing work from South Africa, China, Brazil, Lebanon, Cote d’Ivoire, the UK, and the United States.
Brighton has a long history of association with sex and sexualities, and from the mid 20th century it became known as ‘gay and lesbian’ (and now LGBTQ) hotspot. As more LGBTQ people came to the city they made use of existing spaces for socialising, sex, activism, and community-building – and started to create their own spaces too.
This 90 minute guided walk around central Brighton will introduce you to the oldest and the newest LGBTQ spaces in the city. You’ll visit sites of
early discreet gay bars,
‘cottages’ used for public sex,
women’s and lesbian activism,
clubbing and partying,
and remembering those lost to HIV/AIDS.
Along the way you’ll learn about the differences in Brighton’s LGBTQ spaces over the past century, recent changes in their use, and the real concerns over their future.
