Margate Queer Library and Archive - 002

About this episode

Tash and Adam explore the Margate Queer Library and Archive and discuss queer history with guests Sé Malaïka Nomyo and Jen Scott.

Oh, we do like to be beside the seaside…  Tash went for a swim (Adam went to the cafe), but we BOTH went to the Margate Queer Library and Archive, which is run by Sé Malaïka Nomyo. We also met Jen Scott, aka SHELLY GROTTO, who also told us about her work on Margate and Thanet’s queer history.
