Mind the Gap – Queer Heritage

Mind the Gap – celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month

Art in Romney Marsh has commissioned portraits from Margate Pride that celebrate local Queer Creatives. The portraits, by photographer Elissa Cray, are black and white and based on 1920’s photographs of key members of the Queer Creative Community such as Radclyffe Hall, E.F. Benson, Bessie Smith. Our partnership with Folkestone museum is a chance to look for Folkestone’s queer history and heritage to celebrate writers such as Jocelyn Brooke, Laurence Dillon and Daphne Du Maurier.
