Photography exhibition celebrates Bristol’s eclectic queer scene

By Andy Leake  Wednesday Nov 8, 2023

A new photography exhibition highlights queer photography from Bristol’s LGBTQ+ scene.

PAPPED, an event run by Doozy Magazine on Thursday, will be held at Jamaica Street Studios, with a slideshow of the striking photographs.

Attendees are told to “expect to gawk at iconic outfits, receive embodied memories of throbbing electrobeats, and see all the obscene moments relegated to the oral history of scandal”.

Proceeds from the event will be shared between Medical Aid for Palestinians and T4T. T4T is a platform for trans creatives that raises money for trans healthcare, allowing people to live their authentic lives.

Here are some highlights from the exhibition:
