Join us to celebrate the launch of Crafted with Pride: Queer Craft and Activism in Contemporary Britain (University of Chicago Press and Intellect Books). The edited collection explores queer craft and the material cultures of LGBTQ+ activism in Britain since the 1980s. It includes contributions from academics, artists, activists, curators, and heritage professionals. The first book of its kind, it weaves together an important web connecting queerness, craft and activism in Britain.

Tickets are FREE but please register in advance: https://exeterphoenix.org.uk/events/book-launch-crafted-with-pride-queer-craft-and-activism-in-contemporary-britain/.

This is the first in a series of launch events across the country. The next events will be held at the Whitworth Art Gallery in Manchester on 27 July and Space Station Sixty-Five Gallery in London on 8 August. You can also read more about the book via the HASS News page.
