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 considering 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.
