Neal Shasore and Michael Hall examine the vital but often overlooked role of queer people in shaping British arts and crafts heritage. The talk looks at how domestic spaces functioned as sanctuaries for people defying social conventions of their time, and considers how these legacies have sometimes been subject to cultural appropriation. It runs for an hour and is pay-what-you-can, with £10 suggested.
