"Switchboard" is an LGBTQ History Month show by radical performance artist Astro-Zenica, which draws on archival research, call logs from The Bristol Lesbian and Gay Switchboard (1975 – 2012), and oral histories about queer nightlife and protest in the 1970s and 80s. This event is held at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery and takes place 7:30pm - 9:30pm.

The show draws on archival research, call logs from The Bristol Lesbian and Gay Switchboard (1975 – 2012), and oral histories about queer nightlife and protest in the 1970s and 80s. Astro explores the myriad codes and languages developed by queer people to reach out, hook-up and find community. The codes for making friends and fighting back in a world often violent and harsh to the emergence of the queer spirit. Naïve in its beginnings, there is a longing for acceptance and search for connection.
