✨ About the Event
Join us for the soft launch of Ritual, a living archive created by Mina Bihi that captures the heart of the LGBTQ+ community — protest, pride, and love. More than a book, Ritual is a movement, echoing the music, energy, and freedom of Sonic Yootha, a sanctuary where identity is celebrated, and music is liberation.
🎧 Live Vibe
We’re honoured to have one of Sonic Yootha’s resident DJs spinning live, setting the tone for an unforgettable atmosphere.
Radiant performer and community icon Jackie J will be there, bringing her vibrant energy and joyful presence.
What’s On Offer
• Signed limited-edition Ritual hardcover (only 20 available)
• First edition softcover
• Art prints, badges, and postcards

💙 Giving Back
A portion of proceeds will support Sahir House, a vital force in HIV support and LGBTQ+ care across the region.
