About this Event
Framed around unearthing and fabricating local queer history and traditions, Deptfolk invites library users to a series of creative writing and performance workshops every Friday throughout LGBT History Month. You can expect to explore your own queer Deptford, or take inspiration from historic underground gay bars, riotous Gut Girls and pioneering activists. Alongside creative writing that explores queerness and folklore, we'll have fun with costume making and learn a few Morris Dancing moves.
Deptfolk are a queer art collective exploring folk traditions and local history, and is made up of musicians, published writers, Morris dancers, filmmakers and researchers who all live or work in Lewisham. We’ll be creating an open and encouraging environment for people to try creative writing and co-create a group performance to showcase their work on Saturday 22nd February. Your work will then be included in Deptfolk's first ever zine!
Though not essential, we strongly encourage you to come to all sessions.
