Event description
Running in LGBT+ History Month 2024, ARCHIVING DESIRES explores how queer people sought connection in pre-digital times and how queer people today engage with material from the past.
Split into three parts, the first part presents badges created by Ben Walters, using personal and classified ads from vintage magazines donated by Badge Cafe participants and organisations including Bishopsgate Institute.
Another showcases ‘found’ collages, created when Badge Cafe participants made badges using circular images cut from books and magazines.
The third part presents work created by visitors to Badge Cafe hangouts on Sunday afternoons during the exhibition’s run.
This event is Pay What You Can – any ticket (from £5 – £25) will help cover costs of materials, Ben’s time and support Badge Cafe to grow. If the ticket price is a barrier, please use the promo code BADGEFREE for a free ticket.
