Queer Spaces: Behind the Scene
Queer Spaces: Behind the Scene is a new photography and podcast series focusing exclusively on contemporary LGBTQ+ spaces. Photographer Tim Boddy (he/him) and journalist and author Alim Kheraj (he/him) will profile a series of collectives in what is a rapidly-changing landscape in London and the UK. Featured are in-depth conversations with a diverse range of voices behind some pivotal LGBTQ+ groups, including Queer House Party, the LGBTQ+ Community Centre, Tonic Housing, and Open Barbers. Each episode will be complemented by original photography and portraiture by Tim Boddy, which captures the spirit of the community. Queer Spaces spotlights those that are treading new ground, celebrating diversity within the community, finding space for traditionally marginalised voices, and those that are queering heteronormative spaces. Queer Spaces: Behind the Scene is supported through a Mead Fellowship awarded by University of the Arts London
