Lamenting the erasure of ever more LGBTQ venues, artistic duo Hannah Quinlan and Rosie Hastings have been busy compiling an archive, which they call the UK Gay Bar Directory.
“We began the project in October 2015, casually filming the bars in Newcastle where Hannah is from,” explains Hastings. “Reading about the Stonewall-era bars in America and the UK, we were frustrated by the lack of visual documentation and we saw the opportunity to amend these gaping holes in our history.”
