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

This Workshop is for 16 - 25 year olds. Led by artist Claye Bowler, this workshop explores how songs are transmitted, archived, and remade through body and material. Drawing on his exhibition Dig Me a Grave, featuring folk songs of grave sites sung from the perspective of the dead, Claye considers how oral tradition parallels queer history: knowledge carried and passed down through the body as archive.

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.
