Photos of the Queer Medieval

By Nicola Griffith on June 25, 2024

I promised photos of the Queer Medieval event for Pride at Town Hall Seattle, sponsored by Humanities WA. And here they are. All photos by Libby Lewis.

lt's always cool seeing one's name on a big ol' board
Bookselling b the fabulous Charlie and Colleen of Charlie's Queer Books
The folks who made it all happen: Sarah, Maria, and Julie
Mega Cavell supplied the fabulous Old English riddle games and illustrations
It's a big stage, and the lights are bright...
We sold over 500 tickets
After Maria's lovely intro I spoke for about 45 minutes
I couldn't see the audience—I could have been speaking to an empty hall for I know—so I'm glad of these pictures
Maybe it's time I bought some brightly -coloured clothes...
Clearly people were engaged—but they were quiet, so, again, I couldn't tell...
So I was encouraged when people started to laugh
Then lots of applause when the keynote was done
then it was time for a serious question or two from Maria
And again people were quiet
But by then I was excited
And the audience was too
I demonstrate how hard it is to not Say The Swears
And now I'm rocking and rolling
And the audience—including my sweetie—is appreciative
I forget which question this was a response to
But by now I knew the audience was there 🙂

If you want to watch the video, you can see it here.
