Queering Bríd: Celebrating Ireland’s Hidden Sapphic History

The Workman's Club, Monday 3rd February

‘Join us for an inspiring and thought-provoking evening hosted by QÉire – an LGBTQI+ community group based in Dublin. The night will blend talks and performances by queer historians and artists.

This unique event shines a light on the often-overlooked queer narratives woven into Irish history, mythology, and legend. Through dynamic storytelling, research, and creative expression, our contributors will uncover the hidden threads of queerness in Irish culture, from ancient myths to historical figures whose identities have been obscured or erased. Celebrate the rich tapestry of Ireland’s diverse past while reflecting on its relevance to contemporary LGBTQ+ identities and artistry. Together, we’ll rediscover the power of queer voices in shaping Ireland’s cultural heritage.
