QUEERCIRCLE is a LGBTQIA+ led charity working at the intersection of arts, health and social action.

The Queer Community Library — a space dedicated to preserving, sharing and creating queer knowledge in all its forms. Throughout autumn and winter, the library will be open as a warm, welcoming space to gather, read, listen, share and connect with others.

Join us for our second open day this season, ‘Queer Knowledge Day’ on Saturday 24 October. We'll start with an afternoon of tea, cake and queer knowledge sharing, facilitated by radical educator and artist Jacob V. Joyce. Bring a favourite book or zine that reflects your lived queer experience to share. Our Transgenerations group returns with Tomara Garrod and Lu Wilson, the first of six monthly workshops bringing trans people together across generations through art, games and conversation (individual booking required). Learning organisation Makan will introduce their ‘Educators for Liberation’ programme with a creative political education workshop, and Bird School close the day with their zine and a collective sound-making finale.

We're calling on our community to help sustain our year-round programme. From just £5 a month, your support helps us keep our programmes free for everyone.

A 67-page journey through queer counter-mapping, River's research pulls together stories of resistance from around the globe, composite lyrical poems, and sharp analysis of key concepts, all building toward a final framework: seven fragments to orient us.

Over 12 months, QUEERCIRCLE will explore its strategic questions through governance experiments, community-led structures, and a year-long programme of activity.
