This was an insightful and engaging talk by artist and researcher Han Tiernan, where they delved into the history of Irish LGBTQIA+ activism.
This talk shone a light on key moments from the past 50 years of marches and protests in Ireland, with a special focus on the AIDS Memorial Quilt, currently on display at Luan Gallery, and a powerful selection of placards and banners that have shaped Ireland’s LGBTQIA+ protest culture.
This talk was followed by a hands-on banner-making workshop where participants were guided through a process of techniques to create strong visual statements which could then be used in protests or marches.
Throughout the workshop we explored the vibrant history and aesthetics of LGBTQ+ banners, flags, signs, and symbols, and participants visualised their own values, ideas, and concerns through the creation of their own protest banners.
