| Output Type: | Media |
Permissible Beauty is a multi-layered research and portraiture project that responds to the absence of Black Queer visibility in our national story and heritage, exploring and celebrating what is unique about British Black and Queer identity.
The project, led by the Research Centre for Museums and Galleries at the University of Leicester and based on an original idea by performer, songwriter and art historian David McAlmont is three years in the making and brings McAlmont together with photographer Robert Taylor (National Portrait Gallery and Victoria & Albert collections) film director Mark Thomas of Soup Collective and researcher and writer Professor Richard Sandell to realise this project as a film and an immersive installation at Hampton Court Palace.
