‘Varda Dorcas’ (Polari “See the ones who care”) is:

 

*a place for rest during Margate Pride  

*a physical tribute to the work it takes LGBTQIA+ people to remain Visible in troubled times

 

Sumptuous, multi-sensory, access-centred environment of emotional nourishment and gentle celebration, particularly for those of us who are multiply marginalised. Including a water fountain, wall-hung ‘emotional heritage’ shrine, sculptural resting places & bespoke scent.​

​

I hope this work provides a place and resources to revere and celebrate "those who care"- the  organisers, access support workers, campaigners, fundraisers, volunteers and community elders who's, often unseen, labour creates the conditions for LGBTQIA+ people to remain visible.
