Dublin Modular Queer Ancestry - Telling the stories of our Irish queer ancestors

The idea that queerness is somehow new or modern is total bullshit babes!

Kate Cecilia mcGowan is presenting her initiative Love&Nothing, a micro-press that is trying to re-naturalise queerness by collecting and publishing Irish queer histories from the 1700s to the 1970s.

Love&Nothing's fist publication DELICATE: Irish Lesbian Epistemology is a collaboration between Kate, Lorna Quinn (@lorna.indd) and Órla Slattery (@orlawithafada).

This workshop, talk and book launch will be a room full of archival evidence of queer love and queer lives, it will have some opportunity to reflect on the elder queers in all of our lives who've been significant in our becomings, and the talk aspect of the evening will feature some of the Love&Nothing team's own reflections from the process of this book making.
