Pride Events at EPIC

The Queer Irish Diaspora – In Partnership with Dublin Pride

  • Date: June 27th at 17.30
  • Location: Annie Moore Room
  • Price: €5.00

Have you ever wondered about the experiences of LGBTQ+ folks who emigrated from Ireland throughout history? What did they leave behind? What were they searching for in their new home? Join us for a fascinating public presentation by Colm Molloy, Dublin Pride’s resident historian, archivist, and designer. The event delves into the stories of Ireland’s queer diaspora, exploring the lives and experiences of those who left their homeland in search of acceptance, social equity, and community. We’ll journey through the ages, from the captivating tale of the Ladies of Llangollen to the experiences of 20th-century LGBTQ+ emigrants. The talk is just one of a series of events in our temporary exhibition, “Look Back to Look Forward: 50 Years of the Irish in Britain”.
