Abstract
It's Queer Up North is a British national arts organization which promotes international queer work during a high profile, biennial festival of the same name. It has been running since 1992 and has been increasing in prestige and scope with every festival. Here, Sarah-Jane interviews Tanja Farman, its co-director, raising important questions regarding the mainstreaming of lesbian and gay work, censorship, programming of lesbian work, targeting of a lesbian audience, and the power and influence of funding/sponsorship on the selection process, content and aesthetics.
