Women on Women is the upcoming exhibition exploring features of the multifaceted “feminine universe”. Featuring six of London’s emerging women photographers, the show focuses on charged ideas referring to nature, girlhood, the body, sexuality, and intimacy.

Photos of blinged-out queers at underground Latin club 2CPerrea

Last weekend, at an industrial estate in Tottenham, people stuck gaffer tape on their nipples and arched their backs. There, a disused automotive garage-turned-warehouse played host to the ascendant club night 2CPerrea, where people wear shirred playsuits and leopard-print belt skirts and skank vests with the word “maricon” (meaning faggot in Spanish) embroidered across their fronts.

These photos rejoice queer hedonism within the north

Gut Level is the Sheffield-based queer-led collective occupying Barbican’s The Curve throughout June, with a celebration of finding ‘joy in precariousness’ In 2019, 4 friends – Adam, Frazer, Hannah and Katie – took over an abandoned constructing in a Sheffield railway arch, and began throwing “word-of-mouth parties” for his or her friends, advertised through a secret Facebook group. 4 years and two venue changes later, Gut Level – as they’re collectively known – has been tasked with taking up London’s Barbican Curve throughout June, as a part of RESOLVE Collective’s Them’s The Breaks. In addition to workshops, events and a ‘cretinous’ afterparty on June 3, the exhibition will feature images from venues and collectives...
