Bledi returns with a star-studded watch party of Drag Race UK Season 7! Come celebrate Nyongbella with us, who gave us LIFE with her insane performance at Bledi Heat! We’ll be watching episode 9 together with Nyongbella at the Jago in Dalston, and chatting shit about all things drag! We'll be taking over from 8pm til 1am with QTIBPOC DJs, performances, and stalls, with the episode airing at 9pm. This is one not to miss - get your tickets now! 🎟️
Non-QTIBPOC allies are welcomed and encouraged to pay for the higher entry fee. Reminder that this is a space prioritising QTIBPOC, be aware of the space you are taking. We will be allocating a number of tickets for people who are low income (priority will be given to refugees and people who are seeking asylum), please email blediparty@gmail.com to arrange this. There will be photographers at the event taking consented footage and photographs, but consent can be withdrawn at any time for any images/videos on the Bledi social media (just send us a DM).
Bledi is The Queer SWANA Art Space, a dedicated collective and night out centring QTIBPOC (Queer, Trans/Non-Binary, and/or Intersex, Black people and People of Colour) from the SWANA region (South West Asia/North Africa - commonly referred to as 'the Middle East'). Bledi (Arabic for ‘My Homeland’) has created a space for SWANA Queers to celebrate our lives and showcase our talents, as underrepresented artists of typically marginalised backgrounds.
