A poster for the first Brighton Dyke Munch, made by me. The poster was displayed at The Ledward Centre in August-September 2023. The munch took place on 16th September 2023. The event was attended by around 40 kinky dykes of all genders, who gathered together to chat over tea and biscuits.

A protest sign made by two dyke friends at The Dyke Collective Brighton's sign making event held on 19th March 2026 in preparation for marching against the far right. Sign reads: "Hairy muffs against fascism!"

This collection of badges come from a variety of places: from queer markets, handmade gifts from friends, and Sabana's own making at The Dyke Collective Brighton badge-making events. Each badge represents the love, rage, joy, and resistance of Dyke life in the quotidian.

The event that this flyer refers to was the launch of The Dyke Collective manifesto on the 24th April 2025, held at Dyke Night, a weekly queer social event at The Actors pub, Brighton. The Brighton Dyke Collective participated in a manifesto-writing workshop with Exploding Appendix in early 2024, and the manifesto was created as a group effort to set the tone for the Collective's future. The event included dykey activities and performances to spread the word that inclusive political action is taking place within the community. Bringing the manifesto launch to this space directly politicised it. The event was designed to celebrate dyke culture with performances, an arm wrestling station, and a table for Queers for Palestine, selling copies of the DC manifesto as part of the regular fundraising effort at the Actors. The manifesto is central to the collective and has inspired lots of dykes to get involved. The DC put these posters all around town, in The Queery, at the Universities, pubs, coffee shops, and bars. The event was a great night, with our Chair MCing, poetry from local dyke poets, music, and a reading of our manifesto to finish the night, read by members of the collective.

These are handwritten notes taken during The Brighton Dyke Collective manifesto writing workshop, ran by the research group Exploding Appendix, in March 2024. In this workshop Dykes were encouraged to ask what they wanted from their manifesto, what they wanted to say and achieve in their work, and how best to mobilise dykes in their city. These notes explore the role of thinking about utopia, rage, community, queerness and other topics when it comes to creating their manifesto.

On the 20th March 2026 The Dyke Collective Brighton organised an event to celebrate the Spring Equinox. The event took place in Preston Park and the turn out was massive! As the evening went on the fire blazed, marshmallows were roasted, tarots were read and new friends were made. There was a beautiful energy and sense of community.
