Sisters Are Doing It For Themselves: Queer Women in Music
Celebrating queer women in music across different eras and genres.

- Running time c. 70min
Queer and transgender people have played a substantial role in every facet of modern music. Yet historically, lesbian, bi, queer and trans women haven’t always been recognised for their contributions. It’s taken a century for LGBTQIA+ women to get their due, though they’ve inspired and helped shape the music industry. Join the Flare team and a panel of special guests to highlight and celebrate their favourite queer women in music across different eras and genres.
