Listen to this episode to learn all about The Coast is Queer, the UK’s first LGBTQIA+ literary festival that celebrates all texts queer. Some of the events to get excited about: a panel on queer Ukraine, an event about invisible identities, a zine making workshop with lots of participation and plenty of partying with performance poets and open mic nights! Find out more on Instagram (@coastisqueerfest) or on the festival website. Everything is happening (and it really sounds like it’s happening) from 12-15 October at the Attenborough Centre for Creative Arts in Brighton.
