Lughnasa 2024: Aiteach

“The universe is not only queerer than we suppose, it is queerer than we can suppose” 
– Evolutionary biologist J.B.S Haldane (1928).

’These pages invoke Aiteach, Queerness, as a mythic home-coming; an expansive place to be longing for and belonging to in the shifting landscapes of our times. It is a place that has always existed, thriving in relationship, and yet is undefinable, borderless and as expansive as the queer blue sea.’
