Description:
Framed around unearthing and fabricating local queer history and traditions, Deptfolk invites library users to a series of creative writing and performance workshops every Friday throughout LGBT History Month.
Deptfolk are a queer art collective exploring folk traditions and local history, and is made up of musicians, published writers, Morris dancers, filmmakers and researchers who all live or work in Lewisham. We’ll be creating an open and encouraging environment for people to try creative writing and co-create a group performance to showcase their work. You can expect a visit from Lewisham Local Studies to find out about underground gay bars, riotous Gut Girls and pioneering activists, and to have fun with costume making.
