Personal Project
I wanted to create a piece of work that represents what Pride means for me. On the anniversary of the first Pride march in London, I wanted to remind people that it's not all rainbows and that it started as a protest and for me, we still need to keep the protest happening and this is my own protest. In about 18 European countries, same-sex partnerships still lack legal recognition. Additionally, only 11 countries allow for legal gender recognition based on self-determination, a crucial aspect of transgender rights. We are seeing countries actively targeting LGBTQ+ community and bringing in legislation to persecute them. Nigeria, Italy & the US have introduce restrictions and even law targeting the community. We still need to be raising our voice not a glass!
