Welcome to Out Bristol an independent community magazine and website for the LGBT+ communities of the West of England. Established in 2008 as an independent free access website and guide that joins up the dots to create a hub linking to further support and information. The website and guide quickly turned into a magazine with the same aims as the website as a hub, showcasing what’s on in the region for LGBT+ people. This developed to linking with the tourism board to showcase the great things happening in the city region. The site is now the LGBT+ tourism site for the region, with links to information on where to stay, attractions, festivals and the LGBT+ Scene.

LADIYFEST BRISTOL 4 November 2017 South Bank Centre

Times: 13:00-00:00 Tickets: Pay what you can

LaDIYfest Bristol is a non-profit, DIY (do it yourself ) collective, celebrating the achievements of self-defining women and people of oppressed genders through a festival of music, arts and skill sharing. We are part of an international movement of such festivals, stretching back to the first Ladyfest in Olympia, Washington in 2000. We aim to provide a weekend festival in Bristol with the help of local venues that will address the marginalisation of women and other oppressed genders in creative industries, especially music. We want to raise awareness of the political and social struggles faced by oppressed genders and offer a space to redefine gender stereotypes, with an aim to engage local people and provide an equal platform for self-expression. Though we do not speak on behalf of any community or group, we are a collective who want to support and promote social change through creativity and activism. The festival will be solely organised by people of oppressed genders, and at least 50% of bands members will self-define as a woman or oppressed gender. We will strive wherever possible to give people of oppressed genders the opportunity to get involved in the practical side of running events, through facilitating workshops, running fundraisers, performing or technical roles. We want to offer opportunities like these to those who might not have the confidence or the resources to do so. By skill-sharing and working as a non-hierarchal group LaDIYfest Bristol will be not only a festival of entertainment and awareness but also empowerment and experience. We hope that people of all genders, abilities, ages, ethnicities and sexualities will feel welcome to attend the festival. *Oppressed genders = those who experience oppression based on their gender identity.

Author: Title: Language:

Essex Hemphill Ceremonies English

Synopsis Essex Hemphill was an openly gay American poet and activist. He is known for his contributions to the Washington, D.C. art scene in the 1980s, and for openly discussing the topics pertinent to the AfricanAmerican gay community. In 1992, Hemphill published his largest collection of poetry and short stories, entitled Ceremonies: Prose and Poetry, which included recent work, but also selection from his earlier poetry collections, Earth Life and Conditions. The next year, the anthology would be awarded the National Library Association’s Gay, Lesbian, and Bisexual New Author Award[4] and a Pew Charitable Trust Fellowship in the Arts. In 1993, he was a visiting scholar at the Getty Center About the Author Much of Hemphill’s poetry and spoken word was autobiographical, and portrayed his experiences as a minority in both the African-American and LGBT communities. He wrote pieces such as “Family Jewels,” which conveyed his frustrations about white bigotry, specifically within the gay community. In his essay “Does Your Momma Know About me?” Hemphill criticizes photographer Robert Mapplethorpe’s The Black Book, which showcased pictures of the penises of black men. Hemphill argued that excluding the faces of the black male subjects demonstrated the fetishism of African Americans by whites in the gay community. The poems and essays in Ceremonies address the sexual objectification of black men in white culture, relationships among gay black men and non-gay black men, HIV/AIDS in the black community and the meaning of family. He also goes on to critique both the institutionalized patriarchy, and dominant gender identities within society. WWW.OUTBRISTOL.CO.UK

Who killed Marsha P. Johnson?

Starring: Directed By Written By Produced By Screening :

Victoria Cruz, Marsha P. Johnson, Sylvia Rivera David France David France and Mark Blane Joy A. Tomchin, L.A. Teodosio, Kimberley Reed, David France Via Netflix

Who killed Marsha P. Johnson? When the beloved, self-described “street queen” of NY’s Christopher Street was found floating in the Hudson River in 1992, the NYPD called her death a suicide. Protests erupted but the police remained impassive and refused to investigate. Now, twenty-five years on, Academy Award® nominated director and journalist David France (HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE) examines Marsha’s death—and her extraordinary life—in his new film. Marsha arrived in the Village in the 1960s where she teamed up with Sylvia Rivera when both claimed their identities as “drag queens,” to use the vernacular of the times. Together, the radical duo fought arrests, condemned police brutality, organized street kids, battled the intolerant majority within the gay community, and helped spearhead the Stonewall Riots. In 1970 they formed the world’s first trans-rights organization, STAR (Street Transvestites Action Revolutionaries). Despite their many challenges over the years— bias, homelessness, illness —Marsha and Sylvia ignited a powerful and lasting civil rights movement for gender nonconforming people. Now, a quarter century later, at a time of unprecedented visibility and escalating violence in the transgender community, a dynamic activist named Victoria Cruz has taken it upon herself to reexamine what happened at the end of Marsha’s life. As the film dips in and out of jawdropping archival footage from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON follows as this champion pursues leads, mobilizes officials, and works to get to the bottom of Marsha’s death.

WWW.OUTBRISTOL.CO.UK

LGBT+ HISTORY Interview with director David France

Oscar-nominated filmmaker, New York Times best-selling author, and award-winning investigative journalist

What inspired you to make THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON now? Marsha died twenty-five years ago this July and her fame—and mythology—has only increased over that quarter century. She’s become a very well-known touchstone within the LGBT movement but very little is really known about her. I wanted to fill in the historical record. In addition, I knew that her death was never thoroughly investigated by the police. In fact, as a print journalist I had begun to investigate her case back in 1992, but never did follow through on that work, so I felt a personal obligation to go back to it, and I felt that that offered an opportunity to really put flesh on this mythical character of Marsha P. Johnson. Marsha and her compatriot Sylvia Rivera were both incredibly charismatic and powerful people. Can you talk about what it was like to be in their presence? I knew both Marsha and Sylvia. I didn’t know Sylvia very well and I knew Marsha the way most people knew her, which was in passing and with great affection. Marsha was a fixture in the West Village, known and adored by everybody. She was sometimes homeless and living on the streets but almost always present for decades. If you walked down Christopher Street, Marsha would receive you in the manner of a gracious host. She dispensed cheer and joy. In a way, what she was doing, I realize now, was modeling a kind of freedom that for LGBT people at the time, in the 1970s and ’80s, didn’t exist. She was experimenting with it, trying it on, living it, in a way that other people couldn’t. That was her leadership quality. Sylvia was more of an intellect. Although she never finished sixth grade, she was politically astute and a sharp observer of political strategy and philosophical junctures and opportunities for the movement. Her presence was much more sharp and much more demanding and direct than Marsha’s. Her leadership was an intellectual leadership. Their partnership was a body-and-soul partnership and a love story, as we see in the old archival footage. Together, they created the impetus for the ideological understanding of, and the first bricks in the foundation for, the modern LGBT movement in 1969.

WWW.OUTBRISTOL.CO.UK

LGBT+ HISTORY You have a lot of fantastic footage of Marsha and Sylvia, much of it newly discovered. How did you track it all down and what was it like to watch it when you found it? Finding the footage was as complicated and complex as any archival project, especially when the archives that you’re mining are not formal archives but rather boxes in people’s homes. That’s where we found the footage. It was gathered by friends of Marsha’s from back in the day. Each one of these rare pieces of video and audio was a thrill to uncover. I was surprised to learn how challenging life was for Sylvia in her middle years— the videotape shows us that. It brings us to her in her place of sometimes despairing hopelessness about the ability of the movement to recognize the transgender community and to incorporate it. She was the original voice demanding that the T be added to the L, the G and the B, and for a great period of time, and at great personal pain and expense. She fought that fight all alone and with little progress. It’s there in the footage—we see it, we see the history. Even going back to the early 1970s we have footage of Marsha and Sylvia and the work that they were doing—before there was widespread proliferation of video technology. Who had cameras back then? They were so expensive and bulky that you needed two people to carry them! So we were really lucky to find some real gems to include in the film. We’d hear rumors about some new piece of footage and we’d chase after those rumors and hopefully find those people and hopefully they still had the footage and hopefully it hadn’t declined from being so old…there was a lot of hoping and a lot of those hopes came true. The person at the center of the contemporary story is Victoria Cruz. How did you come to know her and decide to build the film around her? Victoria Cruz is well known in the LGBT community for the work that she has been engaged in over the past couple of decades, working directly with victims of crime at the New York City Lesbian and Gay Anti-Violence Project. I knew that the Anti-Violence Project had been involved in the early investigation around Marsha’s death, so when I heard that they had an openness to reexamining their files and reopening the case—in recognition of this important anniversary—I talked to Victoria about following her and whether she would allow me to do that. She’s very interested in pursuing the case so she allowed us to use her work as a way to pry open a window onto that past.

LGBT+ HISTORY The film documents what a brutal world it was for transgender people in the 1970s and ’80s and ’90s when so many just went missing. What's your sense about violence and acceptance in the transgender world today? One of the reasons I wanted to do this film is to show how much has changed and how much is still the same. We have developed an ability in the lexicon of contemporary culture to talk about and understand the arrival of the transgender community in civic life. But we haven’t done nearly enough to address the systemic prejudice against transgendered people, especially transgendered women of color who are at high risk of physical violence, who have trouble finding jobs, who have greater difficulty finding acceptance of any sort. And the ongoing issue, year after year in these last few years, of fatal violence against young trans women of color is something that has not been adequately tracked or adequately addressed. We discovered in going back and telling Marsha P. Johnson’s story that hers is just one of many similar stories. Another thing I discovered working with a cast that’s almost entirely of color and all LGBT is the difficulty that that community has in finding the strength and power it needs to bring a case like Marsha’s to fruition. The LGBT organizations that represent people of color are grossly underfunded and are struggling on a dayto-day basis to try to respond to the systemic social justice problems that the community faces. The injustice for the whole community is startling. It’s a battle that Marsha fought from the 1960s forward and it’s a battle that still has not been won. Do you believe Marsha was murdered? Finding an answer to that question is why we went back and reinvestigated the case. We found old evidence, old witnesses, new evidence, new witnesses, and significant archival footage, all to examine the question of what might have happened to Marsha at the end of her life. And that answer is in the film. Your previous documentary (and book) HOW TO SURVIVE A PLAGUE looks at people on the margins who are claiming their rights and their dignity in very courageous and creative ways. Do you see parallels between the two films? Absolutely. As a filmmaker, I’m trying to tell the stories of people whose stories don’t ordinarily get told, of people whose lives embody that central WWW.OUTBRISTOL.CO.UK

LGBT+ HISTORY American myth: that anybody, no matter how you’re born, can find power and prominence. The people whose stories I’ve been telling have changed the world, and although we know that we have enjoyed the legacy of the changes they brought about and the revolutions that they spearheaded, we don’t know THEM. I want to tell the stories of queer Americans as American stories, as stories that are as central to the culture we’ve inherited and that future generations will inherit as any activist or any innovator from any other community. Do you have a favorite moment in the film? I think the most powerful moment in the film comes at a juncture in 1973 when Sylvia and Marsha found themselves pushed out of the LGBT movement, or the Gay Power movement as it was called then, and Sylvia takes to a stage and addresses what appears to be tens of thousands of people in the most angry, extemporaneous, and brilliant speech that I think has ever been recorded on film. I think it’s going to surprise people to see it. It surprises me every time I see it. What impact do you hope that the film will have? I hope that people will see that as historical figures, Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera are great American figures whose stories should be taught in school and whose lives should be celebrated. When we started making this film we didn’t realize we would be entering a cultural period in which the advances we had come to embrace over the last decades would suddenly be imperiled. I think we’ve entered a time where stories of visionary activists and heroic figures are necessary and empowering. I think in that regard THE DEATH AND LIFE OF MARSHA P. JOHNSON is a timely document for today’s political problems.

The Wound 18 (CTBA) (S)

Venue: Watershed Bristol Date: Sun 12 Nov 18:00 Director: John Trengove Cast: Nakhane Touré, Bongile Mantsai, Niza Jay Length: 88 mins Bristol Tickets: www.watershed.co.uk The Wound (Inxeba) asks: what does it mean to be a man? This provocative and poignant film considers our notions of masculinity, sexuality and tradition. Confined to a camp in the mountains of the Eastern Cape, teenage boys undergo Ukwaluka, an initiation ritual which is a rite of passage. Factory worker Xolani, played by openly gay South African singer/songwriter Nakhane Touré, returns to the camp for the annual ritual and reconnects with his childhood friend. When he is chosen to mentor a confident young man, suspicions are raised about Xolani’s sexuality which could have devastating consequences. As the characters deny and suppress who they are and who they love, violence and frustration are unleashed. A dark and stirring variation on the standard coming-of-age narrative that, much like its central characters, does not follow the path one might expect. This is a film that offers a glimpse into a seldom-seen world, and a character study that looks deeply into the behaviour of very different men who might have loved each other under different circumstances.

Pussy Riot 18 November 2017/ Motion / Bristol / www.motionbristol.com/

PussyRiot need little introduction, the Russian protest art collective have one of the most important voices of the last 10 years who’s lyrical themes include feminism, LGBT rights, and opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin, whom the group consider to be a dictator. Gaining global notoriety in 2012 when three of the groups members, Maria Alyokhina, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Yekaterina Samutsevich were imprisoned for “hooliganism motivated by religious hatred” for their preformance inside Moscow’s Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, a protest directed at the Orthodox Church leaders’ support of Putin during his election campaign. Maria Alyokhina and Nadezhda Tolokonnikov were released in December 2013 (Samutsevich was freed on probation in 2012). In March 2014, Alyokhina and Tolokonnikova founded Zona Prava, an organization that defends prisoners’ rights. Alyokhina is a recipient of the Lennon Ono Grant for Peace and has also been awarded the Hannah Arendt Prize for Political Thought. In September 2017 Maria Alyokhina will release her memoir RIOT DAYS (Penguin Books), the accompany piece to the book is the touring play RIOT DAYS (“Revolution”) that merges punk, electronica, theater, documentary footage and protest. RIOT DAYS (“Revolution”) will see Maria Alyokhina, Kyril Masheka her main stage partner on “Burning Doors”, Nastya (one of the leaders of Pussy Riot of 2011-2012) and Max of the music duo AWOTT (Asian Women On The Telephone), and Olga (another Pussy Riot member), perform throughout the UK.

Opening Hours: Mon - Sun: 08:00-17:00 www.oldmarketassembly.co.uk/bakery www.oldmarketquarter.co.uk oldmarketbakery

A community bakery located in Old Market. Making handmade bread, pastries and cakes using seasonal and responsibly sourced ingredients. Our sourdough started all this. People raved about the taste, the crumb and the authenticity so we wanted to see what we were made of. As we looked to expand our repertoire we didn’t want to grow up too fast and compromise on taste when baking more. Everything we made we wanted to have the same impact as our sourdough did. We wanted the best tasting croissant, the best tasting salted caramel peanut cup (my favourite...) or the best tasting sausage roll. If it wasn’t best in class, we didn’t want to sell it. We also have a red electric wholesale delivery van! This personal service is also felt in our bakery in Old Market as it’s not often you can be served by the very bakers who have made what you’re buying.
