The Batty Mama is a down and dirty, open and enticing dystopic space for queer and trans bodies from all Black constellations and cultural backgrounds to reclaim booties of colour. We curate a dynamic and immersive programme of queer Black performance that appear both on and off the dance floor. We also feature DJs spinning old skool 90's r'n'b and hip hop, garage, afrobeats, bashment, funky house and detroit techno. Batty buddies are on-site if hugs, reassurance, support, or consenting dance-offs are required. We are for QTIBPOC by QTIBPOC, with a particular focus on showcasing the talent of Black queer, trans and nonbinary artists.
The Batty Mama is a inclusive, accessible, Black Queer multi-media and performing arts space. We exist to invest in Black Queer images, voices and stories by faciliting, paying and promoting Black LGBTQIA+ artists and their art.
