Out & About Queering the Museum and Exeter Pride have teamed up to bring you an afternoon of online activities to celebrate Exeter Pride 2021.
Welcome – What Does Pride Mean to You?
1:30pm to 2:30pm
Join Natalie McGrath, Prof Jana Funke, and Ellie Coleman to launch the collaboration with Exeter Pride. Hear from the Exeter Pride Committee about what Pride means to the queer, trans and non-binary community in Exeter and beyond, and what else they have in store for us as part of this year’s celebration. You can also learn how to make a Pride inspired cocktail by Exeter Phoenix’s amazing Adam. Register here.

2pm – 3:30pm

Queering the RAMM
3:30pm – 5pm
What can the RAMM collections tell us about LGBTQ+ history and heritage? The brilliant team of Out and About researchers will share some of their discoveries from RAMM’s collections to explore LGBTQ+ history and heritage.
Register here.
The Great Queer Book-Off
5pm – 6pm
Instead of icing cakes, our four contestants will be sugar-spinning wonderful words to convince you, the audience, that their book review is the best, thereby winning them the title of ‘British Queer Bookoff Champion’ and a copy of Mr Loverman by Bernadine Evaristo. There will also be a book-related prize for best question from an audience member! This event will be hosted by Exeter Pride’s Katie Moudry.
Interested in being one of the contestants? Email Katie at k.moudry@exeterpride.co.uk.
