This year our community hub is in cyberspace. It may not be the same breathy sweatboxes that we’re used to seeing each other in, but we’re creating a world you can visit straight from your homes with many opportunities to gather, chat and cruise.
From weird cosmonauts, to a language that dissolves and reconfigures in water, to forgotten Black modernist poets, to queer art under fascism…
Welcome to a virtual showcase of the best new queer writing from the UK, selected by Fringe! and queer publisher Cipher Press. This programme is filled with writers who identify across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum, reading from a delicious range of styles and forms. Each writer will perform a short set exclusively via Zoom direct into your living room, bathroom, bedroom, truck cab, wherever you are. Cipher Press will be publishing a companion chapbook, available to buy after the event, featuring contributions from these writers and more.
Featuring: Shola von Reinhold, Huw Lemmey, So Mayer, Peter Scalpello, Han Smith, Caspar Heinemann, and Rick Dove
