2026 JUST GOT INFINITELY QUEERER. My fellow @queertoursoflondon guides @dandelamotte and legendary artist @liltitfer have some treats in store for anyone in London or visiting :) Tickets to all events in the linktree in my bio - pls share with all you think will appreciate :) LGBTQ+ HISTORY MONTH 2026 with @unityartslondon on join us on 21 & 22 FEBRUARY for a QUEER TOUR OF DALSTON Commissioned by @hackneycouncil and @hackneypride365 on this 90 minute free walking tour we delve into the queer goings on at the @riocinema , contemporary night time spaces @dsuperstore @thedivineldn and Vogue Fabrics, as well as the less likely spaces where queer mischief thrives, such as St Paul’s Church, home of @duckielondon Posh Club. Also we stop in Amhurst Road, the home of the Angry Brigade. Afterwards we lament the now-lost lesbian spaces on Cazenove Road and honour local Queer icons such as Marc Bolan and @amywinehouse 26 FEBRUARY MOLLY HOUSES IN HACKNEY - Hosted by our heritage partners @ngmeetinghouse In the 1700s a Molly House was a Queer pub, but it was much more than this as well. It was a community space, a ceremonial space, a space for gender and sexual exploration and play and mischief. A space where Mollies set and made their own language, customs, codes and costumes. A raucous space, yes, but a safe one as well. 1 MARCH QUEER TOUR OF ABNEY PARK 11am We retrace the steps of AMY WINEHOUSE’S iconic ‘BACK TO BLACK’ VIDEO, find the final resting places of the doyennes of working class east end Music Hall, pick up and cruising tips and some surprising and inspiring new research. QUEER COMMUNICATION WORKSHOPS 2pm Get your tongue around ‘Cant’ – the subculture language of the Mollies in the 1700s, will you be bona at picking up a bit of Polari, the saucy queer London dialect from the decades before decriminalisation? Learn the notorious ‘hankie code’ and brush up on your brolly (or parasol) work. Once you learnt the ropes and tropes, can you make your own contemporary words or symbols?

Romancero Books with the support of the Office for Cultural and Scientific Affairs of the Spanish Embassy in London, AC/E Programme for the Internalisation of Spanish Culture, Hackney PRIDE 365 and Hackney Council present the V London Festival of Queer Spanish Culture Sara Torres, author of X where I am in conversation with Professor Nuria Capdevila-Argüelles, University of Exeter. A searching, buoyant novel about queer love, mothers and daughters, and making a life in the face of the only constant: loss. Every story is a love story. In a Barcelona redolent with Almodovar vibes, the love is between women: overlapping and messy attachments between friends, young lovers, mothers and daughters. As Sara’s mother dies, her daughter is in bed with a new obsession. She’s wracked with guilt, but the persistence of need, the demands of the body, refuse to take a dignified pause for the observance of another body leaving this world. If one of the projects of growing up is being defeated by the limits of control we have over ourselves and others, the frustration of trying and failing to be understood, then Sara’s loss, her lovers, and her longterm girlfriend are her passage from 28 and casting about to a little bit older and a little bit more sorted out. If love is “a quagmire than anything else—sometimes sombre, sometimes blinded by light.” X Is Where I Am is one young woman’s fractious, hopeful, attempt to give in to it. 📅 Wednesday 19 Nov 📍Residence of Spanish Ambassador 🕢6:00pm 🎟️ by invitation only (sorry) @saratorresrdzdecastro @nurcapdearguelles @charcopress @hackneycouncil @hackneypride365 @spaininuk @acecultura @spaininuk

Romancero Books CIC con el apoyo de la Oficina de Asuntos Culturales y Científicos de la Embajada de España en Londres, AC/E - Acción Cultural Española, Hackney PRIDE 365 and Hackney Council presenta el V Festival de Cultura Queer en Español en Londres ARTE COMPACTO - Francis Bacon en el Madrid de los 90’s Podcast EN DIRECTO En “Pasiones creativas”, Juanra Sanz y Bernardo Pajares exploran la vida sentimental de Francis Bacon como una faceta clave para comprender su obra. El capítulo retrata al artista como un “cazador nocturno”, cuya agresividad amorosa, vínculos intensos y relaciones destructivas fueron inseparables de su creatividad. A través de amantes que también fueron modelos, el libro se adentra en cómo estas pasiones —a menudo turbulentas— alimentaron su pintura perturbadora. Ese enfoque íntimo, narrado en formato dialogado como en su podcast, permite acercarse a Bacon como persona, más allá del mito del creador atormentado. 📅 Domingo 23 noviembre 📍 The Divine 🕢 17:30 horas 🎟️ /event/30365/arte-compacto-francis-bacon-en-el-madrid-de-los-90s @artecompacto @acecultura @spaincultureuk @spaininuk @hackneypride365 @hackneycouncil @thedivineldn

Romancero Books with the support of the Office for Cultural and Scientific Affairs of the Spanish Embassy in London, AC/E Programme for the Internalisation of Spanish Culture, Hackney PRIDE 365 and Hackney Council present the V London Festival of Queer Spanish Culture UN HOMBRE LIBRE A FREE MAN Directed by Laura Hojman Screening and Q&A with director Sinopsis It immerses us in the life of Agustín Gómez Arcos, a writer from Almería who achieved success on the French literary scene in the 1970s, while in Spain his name remained obscure. In France, his works were read by millions of readers, translated into more than a dozen languages, and adopted in high school educational programs. He was also a finalist for the Prix Goncourt on six occasions. Gómez Arcos chose French to speak out and keep alive the memory of those defeated by the Franco regime. His success, his public interventions, and his ideas reveal a progressive man who foresaw issues such as democratic memory, feminism, and gender and sexual identity. After decades of neglect, in 2006, the publishing house Cabaret Voltaire began translating and publishing his novels for the first time in Spain. Today, his legacy has been rediscovered by new generations, and the recovery of his figure is revealed as one of the unfinished tasks of our culture. @laurahojman @riocinema @summerfilmsproductora 📅 Saturday 22 Nov 📍Rio Cinema 🕢15:45pm 🎟️.uk/Rio.dll/Booking?Booking=TSelectItems.waSelectItemsPrompt.TcsWebMenuItem_0.TcsWebTab_0.TcsPerformance_1602608.TcsSection_936 Thanks to @spaincultureuk @spaininuk @acecultura @institutocervanteslondon @embamex_gbr @hackneycouncil @hackneypride365 @clauk.org.uk @latinamericanhouse @laladyole @thedivineldn @poetrytranslationcentre @hundred_years_gallery @srukceru @raquel_diversitas @gaysthewordbookshop

As the end of #Pride2025 season approaches, we're looking back at changes in language around identity over time. Many words historically used as a form of abuse to LGBTQIA+ people have since been adopted by those in the community. Listen to Hackney resident and artist Finn Greig (@finngreig ) discuss the significance of the history of the term 'queer', and what this identity means for him. Finn started doing LGBTQIA+ youth work in Hackney from the age of 23. He was a co-founder of @genderedintelligence , and in 2010 started the UK’s first summer camp for trans young people.
