The National Museum of Ireland, National Gallery of Ireland and Kilmainham Gaol Museum are delighted to present OUTing the Past Dublin 2021, the International Festival of LGBTI+ History on 21st – 27th March 2021, bringing LGBTI+ history to a wider audience in an exciting, inspiring and thought-provoking programme of online events.
OUTing the Past: The International Festivals of Lesbian Gay Bisexual & Trans History is an international celebration that comprises of events throughout the year, around the world.
This growing public interest in ‘LGBT History’ nationally and internationally is also fuelled by its deliberate exclusion from schools and mainstream history, therefore highlighting that much of ‘public’ history is exclusive rather than inclusive and thereby a narrow and less reliable reading of the past. The OUTing the Past Festival of Lesbian Gay Bisexual & Trans History [OTP] is an educational undertaking seeking to address the silence and denial by promoting the rich and fascinating insights into past attitudes and behaviours related to sexuality and gender.
