New Queers on the Block is a new touring scheme showcasing some of the artists they work with in a celebration of all things queer. The night will feature some of the finest international queer work from Rachael Young, Hester Chillingworth, Stacy Makishi & Malik Nashad Sharpe, hosted by Ophelia Bitz. Plus, in each town they visit, there will be a local LGBTQ+ artist joining the ranks.
Expect shows about being a queer black woman channelling the power of Grace Jones, memories of a queer childhood, reclaiming your faith with the help of pop music, and black melancholy through the legacy of Tupac.
