To Russia LGBT with love

Dalston Superstore, Culture Device, The Queer Archives and TEDxHackney present a day of talks on the current anti-LGBT atrocities being committed in Russia. With the Winter Olympics rapidly approaching and potentially putting the safety of both fans and athletes in real danger, now is the time to take the issue of the safety of fans and atheletes seriously.

As the host borough for the Olympics last year, Hackney is an ideal place for discussions on this subject to take place.

TEDxHackney, Dalston Superstore and Culture Device have collaborated to create an event to tackle the humanitarian crisis of the LGBT community of Russia featuring a whole host of influential speakers, activists, and artists to look into this crisis and help find a solution and raise awareness.

Speakers confirmed include: Jonny Woo, Angela Mason, Bruce La Bruce, Ursula Martinez, Christopher Bryant of Polari Magazine, Owen Jones, Nik Thakkar, Oreet Ashery, Mahmoud Hassino, Paola Revenioti, Dusty O, Lizzie The Lezzy, Panagiotis Chatzistefanou, Jonathan Kemp, All Out and Jamie McDermott.

The event will be on Sunday, October 6 at the Yard Theatre in Hackney Wick from 1pm onwards.

There will be DJs (White Leather Viper Club, Holestar and more) plus drinking afterwards

Tickets work on a pay what you can basis with 30 tickets available at £5, 40 tickets available at £8 and 30 tickets available at £10.

Proceeds go towards The Peter Tatchell Foundation, so give what you can afford when buying a ticket
