50 HOURS OF FOCUS is a week of talks, workshops and masterclasses that explore the arts industry's most burning issues. Arm yourself for 2023 and beyond with wisdom and skills from an acclaimed selection of artists and experts, connect with others working in the creative industries, and have the chance to meet the Contact team. Queering Spaces
How do we stay authentically queer when the world isn't designed with you in mind? Could LGBTQIA+ people build our own spaces instead? Hear from different artists on their experiences of creating sites of resistance and spaces for queer care, safety and joy. Chaired by Caitlin Gleeson, other speakers TBC.
