10mayalldayLove & Brotherhood in Black Gay Britain with Jason Okundaye at Brighton Dome 7:30pmWe welcome major new talent, Jason Okundaye, to Brighton Festival. His astonishing work of social history, Revolutionary Acts: Love & Brotherhood in Black Gay Britain; is marked by resilience and self-determination, inspired by the love and beauty Black men have found within each other. Okundaye meets an elder generation of Black gay men and finds a spirited community full of courage, charisma and good humour, hungry to tell its past – of nightlife, resistance, political fights, loss, gossip, sex, romance and vulgarity. In this event, we also hear from South London born and bred, Marc Thompson who is an activist, health promotion specialist, podcaster and LGBTQ+ cultural curator. Okundaye relays their stories with rare compassion, listening as they share intimate memories and reflect upon their lives. Get tickets from the Brighton Festival website!
