POC LGBTQ+ Society

About Us

We are a collective of queer creatives of colour that aim to create a safe space and environment for other queer POC to make friends and connect with others who resonate with their experiences. It’s a community for those seeking to explore the historical and contemporary contribution of queer indigenous/poc within academic and creative fields. As well as how they want to contribute to these spaces themselves. We aim to host several weekly/monthly events including interactive group discussions, talks on queer POC history, decolonisation, exhibitions, networking events and socials. We are eager to welcome you into this community and look forward to creating a space where one can explore and express their thoughts on the intersectional experience of both being LGBTQ+ and a person of colour, belonging to two worlds and a world of your own. Members are given an opportunity to find like-minded individuals and collectives who can empathise with the uniqueness of this experience. The UAL LGBTQ+ POC society aims to make your university experience in one of the biggest cities in the UK less isolating.
