Queer as Folklore: Legends of the Highlands & Islands Through an LGBTQ+ Lens

  • Centre for Contemporary Arts 350 Sauchiehall Street Glasgow, Scotland, G2 3JD United Kingdom (map)

Suitable for ages 7+

Join Jenny and Annie from hit podcast Stories of Scotland as they share some of their favourite legends, myths, and traditional stories from the Highlands and Islands retold through a queer lens. With the style of warm storytelling that you would expect in front of a fire in a rural bothy, Jenny and Annie give their own rainbow twist to some fascinating lore.

A family friendly romp with tales to make you laugh and cry at the wonders of queer fairies, selkies, ghosts and more. Through these tales, we transport the audience to the cold North seas, the majestic mountains, and some unsuspecting Highlands villages.

This event is part of Glasgow Zine Fest 2023.
