From Flesh to Section 28 protests: Manchester's 'loud, happy and vibrant' LGBT+ community celebrated in new exhibition

Manchester’s LGBTQ+ community will be celebrated in a new exhibition focusing on two iconic moments of the city-region’s history.

The Kimpton Clocktower Hotel’s ‘Together As One – A celebration of Manchester’s LGBTQIA+’ exhibition at The Refuge will feature 90s pictures taken at legendary club night Flesh and photos from Manchester’s Section 28 protests in 1988.

As part of a collaboration with the British Culture Archive, the exhibition - which will launch on July 28 - will celebrate the two moments which have played a key role in the changing face of LGBTQ+ rights, culture and acceptance in the UK.
