CorporateQueer
An exhibition, book and campaign celebrating the LGBT+ community and their allies, who work in the City of London and beyond. A unique, bold, visual initiative, that represents and recognises their contribution to the world of work and encourages employers to invite everyone to bring their whole self to work. The 60 + large photographic prints and stories were on show to the public at Broadgate London for Pride 2021. The exhibition was shown in the Houses of Parliament for LGBTQ+ History Month, in February 2023 and will be on display outside Guildhall for Pride in June 2023.
For the Broadgate exhibition, we had nighttime projections onto the iconic UBS building and brought everyone together for a spectacular, launch party, with fabulous entertainment and leaders, and celebrities from the LGBT+ community. We shared the images and personal stories of the LGBT+ community and their allies from the city and across the UK. Celebrating them and the huge contribution they make and showing why diversity is the lifeblood of The City of London and beyond.
“Growing up under the haunting spectre of section 28, as a mixed and queer individual, I never imagined that I would one day see corporate queer people… Let alone have the opportunity to attend an exhibition where their brilliance would be immortalised. Thank you so much for these inspiring and uplifting shots. They are everything!”
