NoirTones present ASMR; Arts Social Music Rally & Rise-Up (14+)

Join NoirTones, a collective centering melanated musicianship of black origin, as they host a space primarily for queer, trans and intersex people of colour (QTIPoC) and our advocates and allies to converse, create, connect and celebrate!

Live music will accompany Cracking Good Food as we prep placards, style ourselves and pick playlists to protest and party at Saturday's Manchester Pride Parade. The night will move through four movements to help inspire ideas;

A - ARTISTRY//ANALYSE

S - SOCIALLY//STRATEGISE

M - MUSICALITY//MOISTURISE

R - RALLY//REVOLUTIONISE

This event will centre LGBTQI+ people of colour in the global majority & racially minoritized people, but we welcome our White friends and family as guests to our melanin and culturally rich space to celebrate with us in solidarity! Please note this event is a dry space, but under 14's are advised to attend with a guardian.

Supported by LGBT Foundation & Rainbow Noir.
