About the Project
Hear the Queer Appear is a participatory art project by and for the LGBTQI+ community of Cork City and explores new ways to represent and celebrate the diversity of LGBTQI+ identities in Cork.
The project unfolds across Spring and Summer of 2026, across three interconnected art registers:
A. Here the Queer Appear - 3 public light installations
B. Hear the Queer Appear- 6 audio-and-light city promenades
C. The Queer Appear, Here - a collaborative live theatrical circus performance finale.
The project offers multiple ways to take part, allowing individuals to choose how they are represented in public space. Hear the Queer Appear invites audiences to encounter queer presence in the city as vibrant, poetic, and essential to civic life.
