Programme:
‘Alice is a Boy’ with Dr Kiera Vaclavik
11.30 - 12.00

Many journalists have put the blame of the closure of LGBTQ venues on social media and dating apps. Assistant Curator of Architecture and Urbanism, Alice Power, however contends that from its inception the internet has been a vital tool community building for marginalised groups.

Header image: Description: Photo of Al (left) and Amelia (right) of Quiplash. Al is a round white human with fantastically curly brown hair wearing silver rimmed glasses and an excellent denim jacket with a nonbinary flag pin on the collar. Amelia is a slim white human with buzzed brown hair wearing very long colourful earrings and with a trans flag wrapped around their shoulders like a superhero cape. Both have sparkly blue, white and pink make up on. Al has their arm casually around Amelia’s shoulders and Amelia smiles at the camera.
