She arrives in a mother and baby home. Nothing could have prepared her for this. The young women hold each other up with sharp, dark humour against the backdrop of the war in the North of Ireland. Where do the babies go? No one talks about it, no one dares.

Queer artists have always been at the forefront of creatively challenging taboos and sharing ideas that take on structural inequities to reimagine new possibilities.

At a time when LGBTQ+ representation is increasing on our screens and stages, yet established human rights are being questioned or rolled back and intersectional issues are often sidelined. What are the challenges facing queer artists, screenwriters, playwrights and others as they navigate funding, institutions and decision makers to bring their work to life?

Big Talk: Queer Art, Permission & Censorship Now

Discover the incredible diversity within the world of artists’ filmmaking in the UK, with a presentation of the work of the shortlist of this year’s Film London Jarman Award. Films in the programme use archival footage, infrared and hacked console cameras, analogue film and costume to explore subjects from multifarious identities, non-linear time and inter-generational trauma to political censorship and night-time contemporary labour.

Skinny Living’s story is one of struggle, troubling situations and relentless hard graft. It’s also one of synchronicity, chance meetings, and the unflinching belief that their glorious indie soul music will reach the audience it deserves.

Echoing Bill Withers, Van Morrison, The Isley Brothers and Bobby Caldwell, their songs shimmer with a timeless, gentle beauty, exquisite vocal harmonies and a lyrical wisdom that inspires optimism and reflection in equal measure.

Skinny Living

We're excited to announce that our Christmas show for 2024 will be a MAC twist on the much loved fairytale, The Adventures of Red Riding Hood.

Join us on an action-packed, fun-filled journey through our fairytale planet with feisty heroine, Red Riding Hood. But in a race to visit Granny Hood with a festive hamper of goodies, could it be a case of mistaken identity for media star Red Riding Hood, the jealous Goldilocks, or the Big (or not so) Bad Wolf? 

The Adventures of Red Riding Hood
