In this workshop you’ll be joining Nan, from Queer Britain and Tabs, from Wellcome Collection, to explore Tate Britain and its collection through a queer lens

Taking place in the historic galleries, during this activity you’ll be looking for clues to LGBTQI+ experiences in the artworks on display. You’ll then have the opportunity to share your discoveries and discuss how they relate to contemporary experiences of queerness. By the end of the event, you will have a chance to share your thoughts about the future of queer representation in museums and explore queer materials held at Wellcome Collection.

This event is part of Queer and Now, a festival dedicated to the powerful role of LGBTQIA+ art and culture in the UK.
