The loveliest twilight spa at Hope Street Hotel from Jay. A few hours of doing absolutely nothing except relaxing, eating & drinking fizz.
Bloody gorgeous.
Would definitely recommend ❤️

What a night at @future_yard. 🖤

So bloody proud of my amazing Jay — and absolutely loved hearing the brilliant Toria Garbutt too.

Two northern, working-class voices. Unapologetic, powerful and fierce as fuck. 🔥

Both absolutely ace.

Introducing NEUROQUEER HEROES, a new short film showing on Open Eye Galley’s Digital Window Gallery until 31st August.

🌿What is Neuroqueer(ing)?

Neuroqueering is a multi-layered concept that combines neurodivergence with queer identity and activism. Ultimately, neuroqueering is about embracing cognitive and behavioural diversity and self determination to create a more inclusive, collaborative, and resilient society.

🌿Who are the NEUROQUEER HEROES responsible for this work?

Kaitlin Schaal, Emyr Bamford, Sam Prior, Sam Keall, Jay Farley, Amanda Ralph, Carrie Habb, Alixir Turnbull-Crane, Marie hanafin, Garnett ‘Ratte’ Frost, Alfie Beacall, Moon Rice, Meave Devine, Tom Moulsdale.

🌿How the NEUROQUEER HEROES Crown was created?

A crown of sonnets, is composed of 15 sonnets using Iambic pantemiter and 14 lines. They are linked by the repetition of the final line of one sonnet repeated as the
initial line of the next. The last (master) sonnet consists of all the repeated lines of the previous 14 sonnets, in the same order in which they appeared. This is a collaborative crown, working with 14 neuroqueer people with distinctly different neuroqueer experiences each creating their own sonnet.

Neuroqueer Heroes project was created during a series of poetry workshops held at Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool as part of Jay Farley’s Writer in Residence programme funded by Creative Future.

🚨Today, the new EHRC guidance comes into effect. 🚨

The language changes, but the pattern doesn’t.

“Witch Hunt” is a short film about moral panic, power and what happens when society decides certain people are a problem to be solved. Inspired by historical Witch trials and Alixir’s own spiritual practice, it asks who gets cast as the threat and why.

It also brought together a brilliant community of queer creatives, led by @alixir.witchcraft, to explore difficult themes in a space that felt collaborative, safe and deeply human.

The context may be different, but the new EHRC guidance is a stark reminder that Witch hunts against marginalised communities haven’t disappeared. They’ve just taken on new forms.
