Aberdeen Queer Arts Festival shines spotlight on LGBTQ+ talent
Aberdeen Queer Arts Festival brought colour, energy and positivity to the Granite City over the weekend as talented local performers were joined by some of the brightest and boldest talent from across Scotland’s LGBTQ+ community for a genre-spanning line up of performances, workshops and events.
Aberdeen Performing Arts Chief Executive, Sharon Burgess, said: “What a privilege to see so many talented performers shine on our stages over this weekend of pure joy, positivity and fun.
“The talent on show was nothing short of inspirational and the vibe across the whole weekend from artists and audiences alike was so uplifting.
“Thank you to everyone who joined us for the festival, celebrating the diversity, creativity and artistry of the LGBTQ+ community and having lots of fun along the way.”
Hundreds of people came out to enjoy events including music performances, comedy, drag workshops, a tea dance and much more, with featured artists including Simone Seales, CJ Banks, Himish Macbeth and Uncle Tony, Dan Wye and Turan Ali.
