This unique programme looks at culture and identity via an LGBTQ+ lens.

We have gathered together an eclectic mix of Scholars and Artists to bring to us Big Bold Ideas about who we are and who we can be. Most of these experts are living in Ireland, the richness of our knowledge here is stunning. The Gay Project is delighted to bring these ideas to a wide community based audience.

There will be 12 sessions, each covering a different topic and hosted like a conversation, via Zoom . Each session will have time for questions and a 'Break for Art' . This is a little festival within a festival, 12 mini performance by Queer Artist. Participants can ask questions of our experts in the chat. and there is plenty of time if we need it.

Each session will be Live Captioned and a transcript will be available after the event. Each session will be recorded and these videos will be made available online after the sessions.

Dr Cormac O Brien
