UK PRIDE
May Events
EBUN SODIPO
Thursday 1st May
Aspex Portsmouth
Aspex Portsmouth presents a new body of work by multidisciplinary artist Ebun Sodipo, that delves into the experiences, histories, and methods of resistance of Black trans women.
The exhibition will be centred around a 16th-century Black trans woman named Vitoria, who was enslaved and resisted European notions of gender and the body. Combining sculpture, collage, and text, Sodipo will transport audiences into an otherworldly landscape where Black trans voices empower, rage, laugh, unite, and are empowered despite persistent injustices and violence.
THE UK PRIDE EXHIBITION
Thursday 1st - Monday 5th May
The Corner Collective
Responding to the work of our ‘Labours of Love’ exhibition, queer artists will be able to submit their work to be part of this large group show, headlined by Mister.Samo.
