Guests on the night will include writer, actor and activist Noelle Brown; film editor and director Cara Holmes; GCN’s own Lisa Connell; plus more to be announced.

The event will be broadcast live on GCN’s Facebook and YouTube from 7.00 pm GMT and will be embedded onto this page so you can watch it here. Throughout the day, we will also be posting some of the highlights across our social media platforms.

The QUEER-IN-PROGRESS. TIMELINE: ONLINE ARCHIVE aims to map and explore expanded Irish LGBTQ histories. Initiated by Lívia Páldi, former Curator of Visual Arts at Project Arts Centre, QUEER-IN-PROGRESS. TIMELINE was first introduced in March 2020 as the second chapter in the ACTIVE ARCHIVE – SLOW INSTITUTION (2017 – 2020); an extensive research initiative aimed at delving into Project Art Centre’s 50+ year history. The initiative began by picking up on research into the history of the LGBT theatre of Project Arts Centre conducted by artist/researcher Hannah Tiernan (MFA, NCAD). For the QUEER-IN-PROGRESS. TIMELINE, she went on to collate material from GCN (Gay Community News) and IQA (Irish Queer Archives), focusing on lesbian, feminist, female-identified, bi, trans and HIV/AIDS histories of the 80s and 90s.
