about

Outburst’s in-house journal of new queer writing is back!
We invite you to join us as we celebrate the launch of catflap #4, our annual publication of smart queer writing with a disco heart.
With stunning design from long-time catflap collaborators Other Office, issue four is brimming with new essays, poetry and conversations, edited by poet Mícheál McCann.
This year, we’re excited to launch alongside another publication, photographer Ellen Blair’s Homemade Undercuts: Hair, Identity and Community, a photobook of work from her festval exhibition of the same name (see exhibition page for details).
We’ll be taking over the Black Box for an evening of poetry, readings and performances from contributors and guests across both publications, taking in artists from Belfast, France, Finland, Lebanon and more.
Publications will be on sale on the night and throughout the festival.
Age suitability: Strictly 18+
Duration: 120 mins
Performances in partnership with British Council, Festival Transform! & Finnish Institute UK + Ireland.
