Get this! I’ll be doing my academic drag in Cambridge University!
Bird la Bird’s Travelling Queer People’s History Show is a spoof lecture which takes a DIY punk approach to history.
Beginning in the vast prison that once stood on the site of today’s Tate Britain, and lovingly traces the lives of queer prisoners across centuries and continents. Flinging the doors of the queer past open she lays bare the interlocking histories of the British Empire, class exploitation and homophobia and links this to contemporary issues of global LGBTQI refugees.
