Description

Beyond ‘There’s always a black issue Dear’, explores and celebrates Black LGBT identities, to demarcate the particular influence that Black LGBT culture has had upon Fashion, Fine Art, Dance, Music and Language, much of which has been appropriated by the cultural mainstream. The cast vividly recall daring to be different. Ballet dancing boys, and make-up wearing, gender-fluid school days, are candidly described. Their experiences shed new light on the UK in the 1970s/80s. Creating their own identities in a time when, ‘if you were Black you could be either Reggae or Soul’, these are untold stories. Soul and Disco, Punks and Blitz Kids meet. From underground clubs, like The Four Aces in Dalston and Crackers in Soho to the explosion of queer culture at Taboo. Beyond captures a vital historical period. Here are the trailblazers.
