QUEER BRITAIN: the national LGBTQ+ museum’s Post

We had an incredible day at Black Pride 2024! We brought a touch of QB to Black Pride! Our mini exhibition showcased the wonderful work from our Queer Migrant Men+ Residency, including exclusive, not on display pieces. We also displayed photographs of Black queer icons and original artefacts from our Justin Fashanu memorabilia collection. The highlight of the day was undoubtedly our badge maker, where people had the chance to recreate and take home reproductions of vintage LGBTQ+ badges. We loved seeing some familiar faces and welcoming new ones. Black Pride 2024 was a celebration of community, resilience, and pride, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s event. Thank you, Black Pride, for providing such an important and inclusive space! – Alt Text - First Image: A photo taken in front of the Queer Britain booth at Black Pride 2024.

The person on the right is also wearing sunglasses, a keffiyeh, and a pink shirt that reads, "Why be racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic when you could just be quiet?" Third Image: A person making a badge inside a tent at Black Pride 2024. They are holding the lever of the badge machine, while another person assists them. Fourth Image: A group of people gathered outside a white tent with signs reading "Queer Britain" at Black Pride 2024. The sky is clear and blue. Fifth Image: Two Queer Britain volunteers sat at a table inside a tent, both fanning themselves. There are badges on the table in front of them, and various supplies. A rainbow chain garland is hung up behind them. – The Queer Migrant Men+ residency was held in partnership with Maureen, a Love Tank project. The community residency programme is made possible thanks to those who donated to our crowdfund and is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England. The work shown was created by : Batyr, Johny, Pierre, Richard and Tony – Image from Queer Britain – #queerbritain #lgbtq #lesbian #gay #bisexual #trans #queer
