One article from a series in the Boyz magazine where David G Taylor interviewed famous names from the British gay scene about an object they treasured. This article featured Yvette The Conqueror, a Brighton drag queen who was the host of 'Love Muscle' a club night in 'The Fridge' in Brixton and 'Wild Fruit' in Brighton.

This shows the cover of City Limits magazine, with the listings showing Siren presenting the play ‘Curfew’ at The Oval House theatre in London. It also shows a review of ‘Curfew’ by Carole Woddis in the centre of the first column. Siren shows were regularly reviewed very positively by City Limits (a rival to Time Out magazine and far more alternative at the time).

The review was written after a performance at the Drill Hall in London. Bardsley writes that "Siren have always been mesmerised by the idea of time travel, they move their performances through both past and future and around a central theme of DANGER: the danger of lesbian sexuality (and of any kind of 'otherness') to straight society."

Anthony Luvera is an Australian artist, writer and educator based in London. Anthony collaborated with Queer in Brighton on our first commissioned project ‘Not Going Shopping’ to explore the lives of LGTBQ+ people in Brighton. Anthony invited eleven participants to meet him and bring photographs that told their story, and they were encouraged to consider what being queer means to them, and to photograph their experiences and the things they are interested in. The group met regularly to discuss their work and share photographs, and created self-portraits in a photo booth on the North Laine, which led to discussions about photography and identity. Anthony said of the project: “the prospect of creating this work seemed to me to offer a useful way to further my inquiry into participation and self-representation with groups of marginalized individuals, and at the same time provide an opportunity to confront my own views of queerness as a gay man… Images play a powerful role in the stories we tell about ourselves and the histories told about us. Not Going Shopping expresses the points of view of the participants and myself about what it is to be Queer in Brighton.” This collection of photographs depicts the exhibition of Not Going Shopping by Anthony Luvera in Gravitas Photo50, curated by Christiane Monarchi, London Art Fair, 18 – 22 January 2017. The group exhibition featured 13 different artists and explored the theme of adolescence through photography. Luvera's work was exhibited here, and a new edition of Not Going Shopping, inclusive of a newly commissioned essay, was published alongside the exhibited photographs. These photographs of the exhibition include the collaborative portrait of Fox Fisher.
