Historical Homos: PopUp Gallery

Historical Homos began life on Instagram as the ‘no-fucks-given guide to history’s greatest homosexuals’. It has now become a live community of LGBTQ+ history and art enthusiasts in London, with over 200 active members. Our events aim to create high-vis, low-pressure spaces for our community that make LGBTQ+ history matter.
