What We're Doing
Blossom LGBT CIC’s ‘Celebrating our Past, Creating our Futures’ is a two-year LGBTQ+ history-focused art project that aims to explore and promote the rich heritage of the LGBTQ+ community through artistic practices and community building workshops. The project has been made possible with a grant from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. Building on the success of our previous year-long project centered around Wellbeing & LGBTQ+ identities through art, we now seek to engage our community in an exciting new endeavor that highlights queer history and its artistic contributions across various art forms. Recognising that LGBTQ+ history has often been overlooked due to colonisation, anti-LGBT legislation, and historical attitudes, we believe it is crucial to preserve and celebrate the artistic legacy of our community. Queer artists have been visionary pioneers who continue to push boundaries in all disciplines, and their influence extends into mainstream culture.
