BLMUK Festival of Collective Liberation is Black first and open for allies to attend.
We have created a space which is centring Black people. Whilst we welcome allies and friends to the space, we would like you to keep in mind the primary reason for the space.
BLMUK Festival is a Trans and LGBT – inclusive event.
The founding group of BLMUK is a team of Cis* and Trans** Black people who are LGBT+ or LGBT+ allies. We expect partners, speakers, performers etc to ensure that they understand that transphobia or homophobia in any form is not acceptable, this includes any posts made online.
BLMUK Festival is committed to access and so have chosen a building with information readily available about access.
Guests with wheelchairs or mobility issues are advised to make themselves known to reception on arrival. The building has hearing loops in most of the rooms and we have hired BSL practitioners to assist those needing this.
BLMUK Festival is centring all Black people regardless of education, class, sexual orientation, gender or interests.
NO SEXISM, NO RACISM, NO ABLEISM, NO AGEISM, NO QUEERPHOBIA, NO FATPHOBIA, NO TRANSPHOBIA, NO SHADISM, NO CLASSISM, NO HATEFULNESS, NO COLONIAL VIBES.
*Cis (abbreviation of Cisgender) is a term for people who have a gender identity that matches their assigned sex
**Trans adjective (GENDER) informal. short for transgender : used to describe a person whose gender does not match the body they were born with.
