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.

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.

All works will be available for sale from the gallery across the weekend, starting at just £30, all raising money to keep Portsmouth Pride free.

Artists across our community and at any point in their career are encouraged to submit work to be part of the show.
