We’re excited to introduce Minor Acts 🌱 — a 6-month working group for queer + trans people reclaiming space through embodied unlearning, shared practice, and subtle disruption.
Over monthly gatherings, we’ll explore queer and trans approaches to space—through conversation, making, and small acts of spatial disobedience. Along the way, we’ll be joined by some very exciting guests (to be announced 👀) who will bring fresh provocations and perspectives.
This is for queer and trans space explorers of all kinds: artists, architects, organizers, gardeners, writers, dreamers—anyone curious about subversive, creative ways of shaping the built environment. No expertise needed, just curiosity and care.
✨ Part of the @queercircle Catalyst Programme ✨
📆Full program announced soon —express interest for the whole working group series at queerscapes.com (link in bio)
📝Are you an organizer or you feel like you have something to present, add and provoke with? Get in touch!

We are excited to invite you to our third reading group of the series! ☆
Join us for a discussion and workshop around Wild Things: The Disorder of Desire by Jack Halberstam with Lenny Rajmont!
Lenny Rajmont (he/they) is a London-based landscape architect and the founder of @_queerscapes a platform bringing together queer and trans practitioners across architecture, landscape architecture, public space design and the built environment.
Their work explores how queer perspectives can reshape public space, challenging exclusionary practices and advocating for more inclusive, equitable design, through the critique of rainbow-washing in the design industry. We can’t wait to collaborate with them on exploring the deviation of normative within the context of wilderness and landscapes.
Our previous sessions motivated themes of disruption and repair, heteronormative structures and alternative paths. These then moved into conversations around how and if ‘queer’ space can be defined, unassuming and accidental propositions of ‘queer space’ from different global, cultural and gendered perspectives. Our third and final reading group looks to build upon these discussions outside of the urban context.
Whether you have read the book or not, come along for a dive into the text through a creative workshop and discussion, unpacking the power of a ‘queer’ perspective in the built environment and landscape.

🎉Next Queer Archi* Social!
This month's host is @spacehubdesign 🌳
Join us for socializing in a sober environemnt, in a beautiful studio a stone's throw from Old Street.
🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈Queer Archi* Social is a meetup for Queer and Trans people working and studying in architecture, landscape, horticulture, and built environment. If you work with the built enviroment in any capacity - this is for you! It’s about carving out space in an industry that can feel isolating, bringing people together to connect, share experiences, and see that we are not alone.
⭐️About out host:
Spacehub is a young, innovative practice specialising in landscape architecture, urban design and ecology. As an Employee Owned Trust, they are a close-knit team that values collaboration and fresh ideas from everyone in the studio.
Since 2010 they have built a reputation for high-quality design across a wide range of scales, from bespoke furniture to major developments such as The Goodsyard in Shoreditch. Our work includes projects like London Wall Place and the landscape at Caring Wood, winner of the 2017 RIBA House of the Year.
Spacehub designs dynamic, memorable public realm and landscapes by understanding each site’s character, context and culture, creating thoughtful solutions that add value to people and nature.

🌿🍵Join us in a multisensory herbal walk to explore the weeds of the Greenwich peninsula. ��
We will delve into the intrinsic queerness that weeds hold, while also learning about how they can invite themselves into our homes for their medicinal properties.
Through this conversation with our surroundings, we will use herbs as tools of experimentation and creativity in embodying queerness in ourselves and in our environment.
The session will involve a herb walk and a blind tea tasting.
🎟️Free and low-cost tickets available in link in bio
Facilitated by @mordicaherbs at @queercircle

✂️ Collage as a Design Tool
A few collages from our latest working group at @queercircle Reimagining the imposing and disconnected landscape of the Design District through a queered spatial design and analysis methods.
Join us for the next working group where we reimagine Queer homes and de-center the nuclear family from layout and interior conversations.
#queerdesign #queerarchitecture #landscapearchitecture
The government needs architects to build 1.5 million homes. So naturally, they're... cutting off one of the main pathways into the profession?
Explainer on what is going on with apprenticeships. 🏗️❌
#builtenvironmentapprenticeships
Join us to reimagine London housing beyond the nuclear family. Through collage and co-design, we'll chop up traditional floor plans and stitch together new queer domestic spaces that celebrate chosen families and collective living. No design experience needed—just bring your lived experience. 🏠✨🌈
📍 Queercircle @queercircle
🗓️23rd February

Any guesses who will be our host next time?

This week on Minor Acts 🔴
We explored alternative methods of architectural representation - contrasting lumion renders with a more hands on, process based collage approach.
We reimagined the Design district with our own method.
