A Homotopia Commission
Kenneth Morris is the House Designer for House of Noir, Manchester-based members of the UK’s growing house-ballroom, drag ball culture and vogue scene. They create bespoke and individual garments to be wearable pieces of art that empower and celebrate those who are wearing them, supporting the positive representation of the LGBTQI POC community.
Their work has been exhibited at Manchester Library and seen on the stages of Hippodrome Theatre Birmingham, O2 Academy Manchester and the Invisible Wind Factory. Across five balls, House of Noir has won six trophies wearing looks designed/styled by Kenneth.
This is a FREE event, but we are collecting donations for The Future of Colours Youth Network, support provided for young Black and people of colour who are LGBT+ (QTIBPOC). Please give what you can.
