Sian Harris will lead a talk looking at literature from the Epic of Gilgamesh to Yaoi; from The Picture of Dorian Gray to Slash Fanfiction.
There will be a workshop where people can create their own piece of media that explores themes touched on in the talk. This aims to be a fun, tantalising, educational evening of literature and art that will be at times gaudy; radical; painful; and full of joy.
