Hosted by Project Arts Centre from March to September 2020 QUEER-IN-PROGRESS. TIMELINE formed the second chapter of the Active Archive – Slow Institution project, an extensive research initiative that delves into Project’s 50+ year history, looking at the imagined futures and proposals for transformation recorded in Project Arts Centre’s archives.
QUEER-IN-PROGRESS. TIMELINE maps LGBTQ+ histories and more specifically looks into lesbian, female-identified, transgender and feminist activism and practices. With a special focus on the1980s,1990s and HIV/AIDS campaigns, QUEER-IN-PROGRESS. TIMELINE begins with an exploration of Project’s LGBTQ+ theatre history. This body of research was collated by artist Han Tiernan (MFA, NCAD) and was presented alongside their extensive investigation into the GCN (Gay Community News), IQA (The Irish Queer Archive / National Library of Ireland) and the Out Magazine archives.
