Culture Night Stirling: Trans Cosmologies

As part of Culture Night Stirling 2026, themed “Carnival of the Wolf”, this event invites audiences to experience Stirling after dark through powerful storytelling, performance and creativity – inspired by the local legend in which wolves warned residents of approaching invaders.

Trans Cosmologies is a programme of live readings, poetry, performance & participatory art exploring queer futurity, embodiment, and resilience at The Stirling Smith Art Gallery & Museum, programmed by Centre for the Sciences of Place & Memory at Stirling University & Culture Night Stirling.
