A Powerhouse in Ecology: Brigitte Baptiste

Edinburgh International Book Festival event

23rd August 24

Nothing’s more queer than nature, says leading Colombian environmentalist, Brigitte Baptiste. From trees that switch gender, to female albatrosses who raise their young in same-sex partnerships; the natural word is more diverse than we’ve been led to believe.

Join Brigitte Baptiste for an in-conversation with queer curator and creator of “Queer Art: From Canvas To Club, And The Spaces Between“, Gemma Rolls-Bentley. Celebrated internationally for her innovative research, Baptiste discusses how looking through a queer lens has prompted her to ask different questions and notice important patterns that have long been overlooked as anomalies.

Supported by Edinburgh International Book Festival, Panel, University of Edinburgh, and the Colombian Embassy to the United Kingdom.
