Brighton Pride branding - I produced a range of Superqueeroes -a collection of fantastical disembodied heads of indeterminate age, race and gender - a melee of misremembered characters informed by my long years either in clubs, online or on travels!

Nu McAdam (he/they) & Suchi Chatterjee (she/they) presented ‘Your Lavender Life: Disability History, Activism & Intersectionality' at Daltons, Brighton on 23 March 2026. Featuring guest speaker Isaac Samuels OBE. At this event we talked about how important it is to archive personal queer and disabled histories in the local area. Recent years have taught us how much of our rights and autonomy is being taken away. In order to reverse this, a small step we can take is to keep our queer history safe. Filmed by Lucy Le Brocq

A paper poster inviting Brighton Dykes to the manifesto launch event at the Actors in April 2025. 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 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 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.
