In August we went to Q***r Bloombusy with Brighton Q***r Photographers Collective 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
It was our first time going, and we found q***r joy in the midsummer Sussex countryside. For us, the event was a reminder of the q***r history of the Bloomsbury Group, who came together to create an alternative living community at Charleston.
We loved the talk with Travis Alabanza, Shon Faye, Jodie Mitchell and Neil Bartlett, who shared their reflections on q***r life. Afterwards, we ventured into the house and gardens for discovery, art and wonder and enjoyed performances by: Symoné, Brian Lobel, Emma Frankland, Subira, , .chamarette, CAIRO NEVITT & Robin Whitmore
We also enjoyed getting a sign painted, life drawing, badge making, visiting the exhibitions, including one by Guerrilla Girls and the sunset ceremony with lavender from the gardens, specially gifted to us all🪻🪻
We also took a moment to take photos surrounded by flowers and nature. We danced the night away to tunes by DJ Michelle Manetti & host Billie Gold!
Thank you Q***r in Brighton / Q***r Heritage South Marlborough Productions and Charleston for the joyous and magical evening 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈
