About this Event
The Queer Beach project explores the strong connection between queer people and culture and the seaside – between a fringe, sometimes marginalised community and these frontier spaces.
It cruises to nearby places such as The Warren Naturist Beach in Folkstone and sails to faraway places such as Abric’o Naturist Beach near Rio de Janeiro, Maspalomas, Mykonos, Fire Island and Homolulu Beach in Oslo. The project looks at the realities of queer bodies and spaces and their imagined potentialities.
The exhibition includes a series of free workshops inviting you to share stories from places you have been or imagine being on beaches you haven’t explored yet and realise your memories or dreams using a combination of hand collages, AI and photos taken at the gallery.
You will receive a print of the final work, and if you bring a white T-shirt, we will print the image on top of it—ready for you to wear at Folkstone Pride!
The workshops are in groups of up to six people at a time.
Refreshments and snacks will be provided.
The workshops include a tour of the exhibition.
Free - but booking is essential.
