Queering Edinburgh

‘The body is wondrous.
The things it can do, the way it reacts.
The way it changes.
We breathe, we heal, we thrive.
Our bodies are our homes’

– Stevie Gordon

The content of this interactive resource was created in collaboration with LGBT Youth Scotland’s (Un)seen, (Un)heard project and participants and members of their Beyond Gender youth group for EAF24. This project forms part of the 2024 programme which is rooted in themes of resistance, celebration and queer liberation.

EAF’S Civic Engagement team and a group of young creatives took time to create, gather, and reflect on sharing stories (known and unknown) from across a Queer Edinburgh. We want to expand Scottish Queer representation focused across mediums of DIY publishing, oral histories, and intersectional contemporary archiving. So, what does a Queer Edinburgh mean to you?
