PROUD WEST END EXHIBITION
Curated in partnership with New West End Company, Proud West End shares stories from fifteen LGBTQIA+ individuals from across the West End.
Hear from the West End’s LGBTQIA+ community including Divina de Campo, a RuPaul’s Drag Race finalist; Lily on becoming the business owner of queer and trans owned brewery, Queer Brewing Project; and Toby from Selfridges on the fears around coming out growing up in Hong Kong.
Divina de Campo
Located along Old Quebec Street, installations of large-scale portraits will be accompanied by candid, spoken stories accessed via QR codes. The stories can also be heard online on Oxford Street's Website.
“I just wanted to thank heard Storytelling so much for your time and patience with me, and for including me in such an inspiring project. I genuinely can see how what you do can impact so many people and I feel it on such a personal level.”
- Jules, Storyteller
“I’ve absolutely loved it. Just being able to feel confident in expressing how I’m feeling, with the good, the bag, the ugly - has been a real eyeopener. Hand on my heart, thank you!”
- Anthony, Storyteller
“It’s nice to have someone be interested in hearing something that i have to say, and that potentially meaning that someone, even if its’ just one person can come away from this exhibition and go ‘okay, I can carry on today’.”
- Graysen, Storyteller
Listen to one of the stories :
BOTSANG
In the company of a tight-knit group of friends, Botsang finds solace and camaraderie and their own "Central Perk". Their version, complete with black faux leather seats that carry the lingering smell of Jaeger, becomes their cherished gathering spot. A story that captures the essence of friendship and the moments that define a chapter of life.
