Get ready for the return of London’s most anticipated queer arts networking event – Queer Clash Diary 2025! This year, Raze Collective and Artsadmin are teaming up to deliver an action-packed day full of inspiring talks, networking opportunities, creative workshops, and hands-on activities.

Queer Clash Diary is all about fostering connections and igniting conversations. Kick off the day with a laid-back movement class, meet organizations scouting for queer talent, take part in our unique queer arts slow dating, and hear from some of the UK’s most exciting queer artists.

Bringing together promoters, producers, venues, performers, artists, and collectives from across London’s vibrant queer performance scene, Queer Clash Diary is your chance to connect with like-minded individuals, showcase your projects, plan for the future—and most importantly, have a blast.
