Damn right, it is! The time has come for our Northern pals to cross the threshold of self-determination and equality, a journey which we’ve made with two referenda.
The North is Next is a very special live event collaboration between Gay Community News (GCN) and the Fringe Festival with performance, discussion and the launch of a bespoke zine publication.
The zine is illustrated by the wonderful Soak, designed by GCN’s Dave Darcy (One Strong Arm) and printed in collaboration with OR Studio.
The North is Next features submissions from journalist and author Una Mullally, playwright Stacey Gregg, poet Dawn Watson, playwright and activist Shannon Sickels, academic and activist Goretti Horgan and photographer and activist Emma Campbell.
A live event, hosted by Ailbhe Smyth, will launch the publication.
