- **Event Description**: Find out more from two of the authors who created a beautifully illustrated compendium of LGBTIQ+ life.About this EventManchester Histories warmly invites you to a Salon discussing the soon-to-be published A Queer Scrapbook with authors Rebecca Jennings and Matt Cook.A Queer Scrapbook offers a treasure trove of LGBTIQ+ histories from across Britain and Ireland. Packed with materials, from interviews and newspaper articles to photographs and flyers, the book explores urban, rural and regional queer life since 1945.Commentaries and short essays introduce a changing queer landscape, spotlighting four broad themes: home and family, socialising and sex, arts and culture, and activism and community. The book delves into the meaning and experiences of domesticity and parenting and explores the sometimes unexpected places LGBTIQ+ people met to have fun. It examines the importance of creative work and shows how people fought injustice and advocated for equal rights.Collecting has been a way for the marginalised to explore and assert identity and community. A Queer Scrapbook vividly illustrates the diversity of queer and trans lives across the British and Irish isles since the Second World War.There will be an opportunity to buy a copy of the book and meet the authors on the day. This event is organised with support from .Matt Cook is the Jonathan Cooper Professor of the History of Sexuality, Mansfield College, University of Oxford.Rebecca Jennings is a Professor of Modern Gender History at University College London.DonationThis event is free to attend, and as a small charity we truly welcome any contribution you are able to make.
