Celebrating LGBT+ History Month 2021

Monday 8 February 2021 //  by laura.gill

During February, will be celebrating LGBT+ History Month with a look back at our season of contemporary exhibitions from 2020, in partnership with Swansea Pride and generously supported by Art Fund, Friends of Glynn Vivian and the Arts Council of Wales.

Bringing together video installation, photography, painting, video mapping and performance, these exhibitions explore interrelated themes of inclusivity, diversity, gender, language, ideological and political systems and climate change.
