In the 1980s, underground parties offered Black Queer and Trans people sanctuaries from discrimination — spaces of self-expression, healing, and freedom. These gatherings transformed exclusion into belonging, where music and movement became acts of liberation.

This exhibition revisits the evolution of London’s Black Queer club scene from 1979 to 2021 — through 3 newly commissioned interviews of founding impresarios; a selection of memorabilia sourced from private and public archives, and it will feature photography by Dave Swindell's, former Time Out Clubs Editor (1986–2009), whose archive captures the early formation of Black Queer visibility in London.
