Q: The book contains testimonies from LGBTQIA+ activists, business owners, volunteers and artists who speak to the histories (and herstories) you trace across London.

My incredible friends Shaun Dunne and Robbie Lawlor inspired me and made me giggle so much during the Q+A, which was packed with pioneering change-makers. Dan Glass, author of Queer Footprints, meets up with Maz Islam from the Rainbow Tree to take the viewer on a guided tour of Whitechapel.He uses music, performance and protest to catalyse love, soul, revolution and justice in communities confronting injustice. In the meantime come and join us on August 27th for Queer Night Pride 2 to confront rising hate crime. Dan has been recognised as 'Activist of the Year' with the Sexual Freedom Awards and was announced a 'BBC Greater Londoner' for founding Queer Tours of London - A Mince Through Time. It is impossible to read this book without being swept up into the legend of London's Queer history of resistance, solidarity and downright fabulosity.

The curation of Queer Footprints reaffirmed my belief in the power of people’s (or ‘popular’) education, and I learnt many new storytelling tools to enable this. Not the kind of identity politics that results in positive affirmation of marginalised communities, but the kind of identity politics that result in a reductive ‘oppression olympics’, a race-to-the-bottom understanding of change-making whereby everyone ends up at a dead-end road.Knowing that I was both Jewish and gay entering adulthood, I couldn’t help but wonder: where was the other half of me?

Being visible is even more important when we’re facing the rise of LGBTQI – and all – hate crime attacks, racism and fascism emboldened by the rhetoric of this government and Brexit.
