Consider the role art in queer homes plays in inspiring a brighter future for our young people

UK Black Pride is celebrating its 15th birthday by exploring the theme “Home”. 

Join co-founders Lady Phyll and Moud Goba in a live digital conversation from Steve McQueen’s Year 3 exhibition at Tate Britain, about the way art and creativity can help nurture care, hope and pride inside queer family homes.

They’ll be joined virtually by Melz Owusu, founder of the Free Black University, to consider how art in education can ignite young queer people’s power to create a brave and bold future for themselves.

Everyone’s welcome to speak up and speak out at this digital queer family event.
