Theatre and LGBTQ+ History Month

Theatre and LGBTQ+ History Month

I consider LGBTQ+ History Month to be of even more vital importance than Pride Month itself. It’s one thing to be proud of where we are, but this month calls on us to pay respects to the people who helped get us here and those we’ve lost on the way. In curating this month, I chose shows which were grounded in some way to our history, and in turn, suggests a way forward. LGBTQ+ History Month is as much a reflection of our past as it is a demand for the future of our community.

“Do Not Burn Art”: Sri Lanka’s Artful Struggles

In July 2022, an unprecedented protest movement against corruption, immiseration, and impunity swept Sri Lanka and forced the President to flee the country. One year on, a new exhibition at the University of Essex and a parallel exhibition at Harrow Arts Centre commemorate and contextualize these different struggles at a time of renewed austerity and repression.
