Bold Mellon Collective, in collaboration with Firepit and Royal Greenwich Festivals are hosting a new Red Room exhibition as part of their Queer Migrations Community Arts Festival! Running from July 15th - August 9th with an opening event on JULY THURSDAY 17TH - featuring live music by STAND!BACK -  a theremin and harp duo, followed by an informal Q&A with the artists involved. 

You can book your free tickets here

This event will be BSL interpreted, with earplugs, sensory toys & decompression space available. 

You can also check out Bold Mellon's full Festival programme here, including a performance event and a series of free workshops at the National Maritime Museum.

Exhibit P* has been extended until SATURDAY JULY 5TH in the Red Room, so there is still time to come along! It has been described as 'visceral', 'rebellious' and 'powerful'  - you can read a recent interview with one of the curators here

Exhibit P* presents contemporary works by 10 queer transdisciplinary artists that all engage themes of self-authorship, radical reimagining and resistance to systemic oppressions.
