SALON # 1

Posted on: April 7th, 2023 by ruth.mccarthy@outburstarts.com

We need to talk! Salon is a new Outburst space / happening, every six weeks, for queer artists, writers and anyone interested in exploring queer ideas. With queer art more vital now than ever, we’ll create a space together to share readings, invite special guests and open up conversations about art, gender and sexuality. We might have a question we’ll explore, or a conversation after a reading, we’re keeping it wide open to make it fresh each time!

The space is free and open to all queer folks, you don’t need to bring anything but your curiosity and there’s no pressure to talk if you prefer to listen. Numbers will be limited each time to keep it intimate, so booking is essential.

Salon #1

This session will be facilitated by poet and writer Mícheál McCann, with special guests coming all the way from Warsaw. Polish artist and queer activist Alka Nauman works between choreography, dance and visual art and theatre maker Dorota Glac is one of the founders of TERAZ POLIŻ, a radical all-female theatre company in Warsaw that has recently been working on trans and lesbian themes.

Come and share ideas, hear about what artists are doing and be part of exploring queer futures in Belfast and beyond.

We’ll be hosting Salon in the fabulous Good Room at Bullitt off Church Lane (thanks for the space!).

Book now and see you there.
