“A striking, visual celebration of Scarborough’s diverse LGBTQ+ community.” Picturing Pride exhibition to celebrate LGBTQ+ History Month

Graham Robson January 22, 2025

Scarborough Pride, in collaboration with Scarborough Museums & Galleries, is celebrating LGBTQ+ History Month with a new exhibition created by photographer Aidan Brooks.

A striking, visual celebration of the town’s diverse LGBTQ+ community, Picturing Pride will feature a vibrant collection of portraits, captured during Scarborough Pride 2024.

Each portrait in the exhibition, which will run from Saturday, February 1 to Saturday, April 26 at Scarborough Art Gallery, tells a unique story, celebrating individuality and Pride while showcasing the rich tapestry of LGBTQ+ identities in Scarborough.

Photographer Aidan Brooks said: “Society has a way of concerning us with labels and assumptions.

“My hope is for everyone to take back their space and proudly own who they are.”

George Wakely, Chair of Scarborough Pride, added: “Picturing Pride is more than an exhibition—it’s a celebration of who we are and how far we’ve come.

“It highlights the beauty of our community and reminds us why Pride is so important, not just in September, or in Pride Month, but all year round.”

Scarborough Pride returns this year on September 13. More info HERE
