With just under two weeks to go until this year’s event, Brighton & Hove Pride is celebrating a milestone 50th Anniversary of the first Pride march in the city with their Pride at 50 – Dare To Be Different campaign taking place on lampposts across the city and an exhibition at Brighton’s Jubilee Library.
Brighton’s Jubilee Library is to host talks and exhibitions to help break the stigma surrounding death this Dying Matters Week, a campaign run by Hospice UK from Tuesday, May 9 to Sunday, May 14.
February is LGBT+ History Month in the UK, which celebrates LGBTQ+ lives in their full diversity. Each year, Schools OUT sets a different theme and this year it’s Behind the Lens, celebrating LGBTQ+ people’s contribution to cinema and film from behind the lens. You are encouraged to look ‘Behind the Lens’ and listen to LGBTQ+ lived experience.
Opening Pandora’s Box: queer dimensions of library legacies, struggles and hopes will see Alice Corble share stories from her career as a queer library user, worker, researcher and activist, reflecting on the spaces and communities of queer discovery and connection that libraries can foster, as well as institutional and societal constraints and conflicts that can limit such possibilities. The discussion will invite intergenerational lessons and longings for LGBTQ+ library lives.
This project and its exhibitions are a way of raising awareness of the real diversity of LGBTQ+ communities across Brighton & Hove and wider UK
