The exhibition is free to visit and is open weekday lunchtimes (12-2pm) in Martin Hall Exhibition Space from Tuesday 10 February – Friday 13 March as part of LGBT+ History Month.
This exhibition marks the second annual LGBT+ exhibition at Loughborough University, building on a growing commitment to celebrating queer creativity, visibility, and community across our campus.
Responding to this year’s LGBT+ History Month theme of ‘Science and Innovation’, the exhibition embraces the theme as a starting point, inviting work that reflects innovation in its broadest sense, from ideas and identities to processes, practices and ways of being. Beyond the Binary centres and celebrates marginalised voices and reflects Loughborough’s values of inclusion and belonging.
Throughout LGBT+ History Month, it will serve as a hub for community engagement, welcoming allies, friends, and colleagues to come together, learn, listen, and participate. Alongside the works on display, the exhibition will host workshops and other events, offering opportunities to engage more deeply with LGBT+ experiences, creativity, and innovation across disciplines.
This exhibition is made possible through the generous support of EDI Services, the School of Design and Creative Arts and LU Arts.
