‘A hymn to the importance of community and place’
– Seán Hewitt
Nothing Ever Just Disappears brings to life the stories of seven remarkable figures and illuminates the connections between where they lived, who they loved, and the art they created. It shows that a queer sense of place is central to the history of the twentieth century and powerfully evokes how much is lost when these spaces are forgotten. Nothing Ever Just Disappears is a thrilling new history and a celebration of freedom, survival and the hidden places of the imagination.
Join us on November 17th to listen to author Diarmuid Hester in conversation with Susan Tomaselli on the subject of this remarkable new book. Admission to this event is free but booking a place below is essential.
