REUNION 79:21 — Revisiting Black Queer London Clubland celebrates an extraordinary period of creativity, resilience, and community within Black Queer and Trans nightlife in the UK.
 

In the 1980s, underground parties offered Black Queer and Trans people sanctuaries from discrimination — spaces of self-expression, healing, and freedom. These gatherings transformed exclusion into belonging, where music and movement became acts of liberation.
 

This exhibition revisits the evolution of London’s Black Queer club scene from 1979 to 2021 — a time when music, dance, and collective joy built community amid social hostility.
