BACKLASH: A Queer Cultural State of the Nation | Weds 18th March 2026 | Cambridge Junction

Curious Arts, Marlborough Productions & Fatt Projects present a day of research, panels, workshops, training and conversation for the UK cultural sector launching the findings of the LGBTQIA+ Cultural Barometer’s current research into experiences of anti-lgbtq+ backlash.

This day will be an essential opportunity to hear the findings from our research with over 100 participant individuals and/or organisations working in the cultural sector on their experiences of backlash, with speakers from a range of organisations and individual practices. The programme will also include tips and best practice on how to manage and mitigate potential backlash, and invite us consider the ways that we might start to counter this as a sector.

The event will run from 10:30am until 4pm, lunch will be provided. Tickets are on sale now!

More information about the day's programme will be announced soon.
