Queer East will return on 17 April for our fifth instalment, and we are seeking a team of enthusiastic volunteers to join us in delivering this year’s festival. Queer East volunteers will not only gain hands-on experience working in event organising, but they will also have access to festival events and join a vibrant community of like-minded queer arts and cinema fans who share a passion for queer East and Southeast Asian representation in the arts and cultural sector.

What you will do:

£10 per session to compensate for travel and food expenses.
