Photography exhibition celebrates Bristol’s eclectic queer scene

By Andy Leake  Wednesday Nov 8, 2023

A new photography exhibition highlights queer photography from Bristol’s LGBTQ+ scene.

PAPPED, an event run by Doozy Magazine on Thursday, will be held at Jamaica Street Studios, with a slideshow of the striking photographs.

Attendees are told to “expect to gawk at iconic outfits, receive embodied memories of throbbing electrobeats, and see all the obscene moments relegated to the oral history of scandal”.

EatDrink24/7 Launch Party is back on July 8 2026!
Exclusive collabs from Bristol’s favourite food vendors, available for one night only. Be first to grab your free copy of the EatDrink24/7 guide – plus every ticket comes with a free limited-edition beer can.

Proceeds from the event will be shared between Medical Aid for Palestinians and T4T. T4T is a platform for trans creatives that raises money for trans healthcare, allowing people to live their authentic lives.

Here are some highlights from the exhibition:

Andy Leake is reporting on the queer community as part of Bristol24/7’s community reporter scheme, a project which aims to tell stories from areas of Bristol traditionally under-served by the mainstream media.
