Queer Arts Festival is a multi-disciplinary event; speculating, investigating and celebrating queer, black and women led, artworks and experiences.
Investigate and celebrate Queer, in its widest sense, with Black Sheep Collective CIC as their Tribe delve into the ‘observational advantages’ of being Othered; queering the notion that being ‘outside’ (of a system/structure) is perceived solely as ‘disadvantage’.
