Edge School

Saturday 29 August, 1pm-5pm

You’re invited to join Edge School, a new peer-to-peer learning programme at Forgan Arts Centre for LGBTQIA+ creatives in Fife.

Join us to explore the garden as a metaphor for spaces of cultivation, rooting and unexpected encounters through art, craft, landwork, permaculture, writing and food.

Edge School is free and for LQBTQIA+ creative folk over 16 years old. This queer-led programme will encourage community building, experimentation and creativity.

Edge School understands queerness as an ongoing horizon: a way of collectively imagining and rehearsing more just, joyful, and liberatory futures.

Through creative practice and shared inquiry, the programme creates space to experiment with what those futures might look like, and how they might be cultivated together.

This project is built upon the relationships that we have and continue to develop with local artists, ally’s, communities and organisations in North East Fife from 2024-26 during Queering the Clachan and Queer Makers Club.  

Edge School takes its roots from the eighteenth-century Irish hedge schools; informal and often secret spaces of learning that emerged in response to legal and social oppression. Held in homes, barns, and outdoor spaces, hedge schools were community-led sites of knowledge-sharing and resistance. 

Influenced by José Esteban Muñoz’s proposition that “queerness is not yet here,” Edge School understands queerness as an ongoing horizon: a way of collectively imagining and rehearsing more just, joyful, and liberatory futures.
