Black and Gay, Back in the Day brings to life a photo archive of Black LGBTQIA+ life in Britain, from the 1970s through to the early 2000s.
Each episode is an intergenerational journey focusing on a key photograph from the archive - joining stories of the past, with those of today. Marc Thompson is our gentle, inquisitive and warm guide to the archive, helping a rotation of younger Black LGBTQIA+ co-hosts navigate these often untold stories. Each episode covers a different theme drawn out of a single photograph from the collection, submerging you into Black LGBTQIA+ history
This eye opening series highlights the importance of Black LGBTQIA+ history, amplifying the work of its founders Marc Thompson and Jason Okundaye, as we repaint the photographs through audio, helping to facilitate the mission of honouring and remembering Black queer life in Britain.

DJ and producer Chantelle Ayanna is inspired by a colour photograph of two women in a DJ booth surrounded by vinyl and joy. She discovers that the image comes from the opening night of ‘Precious Brown’. A club night for Black queer women at the Candy Bar in London, Soho in the 90’s. The last couple of decades, however, has seen spaces for LGBTQIA+ people disappear. Together, the three reflect on the importance of Black LGBTQIA+ club nights, parties and music.
