Casa Dei Sogni: An Unwritten Queer History - 15 Questions with... Sappho

Casa dei Sogni - An Unwritten Queer History sees Roman Empress Elagabalus, Chaucerian knights Palamon and Arcite, and lesbian icon Sappho, take shelter from a storm at the beautiful home of artist Robert Hawthorn Kitson. As the night unfolds, the house becomes a sanctuary where these Queer figures share stories of love, identity, repression, and the ways history has misunderstood or erased them. In this 15 Questions with... get to know lesbian icon Sappho. This project came out of a collaboration between Cultural Collections & Galleries and the School of Performance and Cultural Industries at the University of Leeds, for the module PECI2111 Collaborative Performance Project.
