Queer History Club: Christmas Card Workshop!

Come and make a Christmas card or two for your queer pals, using copies of festive archive materials from queer history!

Will you go for Marsha P Johnson with tinsel on her head, Rupert Raj by a Christmas tree, a bunch of gays dressed as Jesus, or a tasteful mistletoe wreath advertising a 1970s gay bar? You bring your creativity, we'll bring the archive and the festive tunes.

Facilitated by Kit Heyam.

Kit Heyam is a Leeds-based heritage practitioner, trans awareness trainer, academic and author of Before We Were Trans.

Date: Wednesday 10th December 2025
Time: 7-9pm
Venue: The Bookish Type, 77a Great George Street, LS1 3BR
