About this event
Book now to come and explore the Outback issues with Queer Kernow and Dreadnought South West.
On an unassuming shelf here at Kresen Kernow lie two boxes of queer joy. They contain 140 issues of the Outback Newsletter for Lesbians in Cornwall and the Far South West: a newsletter written, produced, and distributed by a group of gay women based primarily in Penzance between 1996 and 2008.
Self-published LGBTQ+ magazines were an incredibly important resource to the community in pre-internet days. For the first time, lesbian women living in rural areas of Cornwall and the far South West were able to make contact with one another, plan events, organise protests, provide support and ultimately grow a community. Newsletters like Outback helped build the LGBTQ+ community in Cornwall, and their impact cannot be underestimated.
Booking is via Eventbrite, please see our website for more details.
The Rebellious Sounds Archive is currently popping-up for display at Kresen Kernow and is available to access during the day. Other Dreadnought South West and Rebellious Sounds Archive events are also on this week – see the rest of the Kresen Kernow what’s on.
This event is supported by the Heritage Fund and made possible by players of the National Lottery.
