Join the Hastings Queer History Collective on their journey to uncover the hidden stories and significance of past LGBTQIA+ sites in Hastings.
Over the past few months, the collective have delved into the history of queer spaces in Hastings. From pre-war pier performers to historic hidden backdoor entrances and suffragettes cavorting in Warrior Square, they have uncovered remarkable stories of places and spaces that have helped shape our LGBTQIA+ community.
At this event, they will share their insights and invite you to contribute your own juicy stories about Hastings' past queer locations. What do you remember? What have you heard about? From the mundane to the outrageous, the evening will be an opportunity to share what you know or have experienced of Hasting's historic queer spaces.
Plus, radical cultural historian Dr Diarmuid Hester will join us to discuss the significance of remembering queer spaces and places, drawing on his expertise as the author of 'Nothing Ever Just Disappears, a ground-breaking publication exploring the homes and haunts of some of the twentieth century's most remarkable queer artists.
