Sean Burns and Cole Collins, lecturer at Edinburgh College of Art, will lead a roundtable conversation on queer space that considers historical examples in Edinburgh, including nightclubs, housing and social spaces. Aiming to reflect on the relationship between architecture and community, the discussion will be held in an informal setting where food will also be served.
Cole will offer a series of provocations intended to initiate deeper discussion around, for example, housing for queer residents in urban environments, such as Dorothy Towers, and the architecture of nightlife spaces, such as Birmingham’s legendary club Rum Runner or Edinburgh’s Taste clubnight.
Free event. Optional £5 donation will go to Waverley Care, Scotland’s leading HIV and hepatitis C charity – www.waverleycare.org
