Be sure to get yourself down to The Red Room in Outhouse on Capel Street to catch a show of solo paintings by the incredible artist Siobh McGrane. Entitled My Granny Was Queer, the show consists of a series of oil portraits depicting a group of people that McGrane’s Granny first introduced to her as a child.
The use of the word ‘queer’ in the title wishes to capture the diversity and ambiguity of the depicted protagonists. As the exhibition describes them - “Practitioners of the Individual. Their commonality? Love, vulnerability, lust, tragedy and defiance. All held a flag up through their art. Queer is an outlook. Queer is a sensibility. Queer is inclusive.”

About GCN
Welcome to our biggest and brightest issue of the year - our annual Pride Edition. We made a call out for members of our LGBT+ family to design our cover. All who entered are featured inside, and for the first time ever we have a bumper double cover by artists Gabriel Marques and Day Magee! Inside we round-up all the Prides taking place across Ireland alongside interviews with young people from rural areas who explain Pride’s importance. There’s a conversation between Will St Leger, the Dublin Pride Grand Marshall, and Bruce Coleman, an ACT UP activist who was in New York after Stonewall. There’s a remembrance of the Repeal movement and a feature about the prejudice faced by lesbian women and trans folk in barbershops. GCN also reaches out to the community; chatting to the myriad places where our magazine is delivered. And that’s only the tip of the Pride float.
From all at GCN, we wish you a happy, safe and fabulous Pride season!
