Join Evie Osbon for a workshop exploring LGBTQIA+ experiences and imagining a LGBTQIA+ friendly Nottingham. The session will be filled with socialising, connection and compassion.
Evie will share creative prompts to start a conversation about what a LGBTQIA+ friendly Nottingham would look like. As well as looking forward, the conversation is an opportunity to share your personal queer experiences in a creative way. You’ll explore movement and take inspiration from artwork created in previous sessions.
If you would like to, you’ll have the opportunity to record your ideas about an LGBTQIA+ friendly Nottingham. We will work together to create a binaural soundscape for a queer utopia.
For people aged 18+, who identify as being part of the LGBTQIA+ community. No previous performance experience is necessary.
Part of the Building an LGBTQIA+ Friendly Nottingham project.

About Building an LGBTQIA+ Friendly Nottingham
This project explores how LGBTQIA+ people experience life in Nottingham. It looks at how the city can better support them. Decisions often rely on data and top-down methods that overlook the voices of the LGBTQIA+ community. By amplifying “untold stories” through art and literature it aims to boost LGBTQIA+ people’s sense of belonging.
The project is supported by the University of Nottingham’s Institute for Policy and Engagement.
