Please join us on 5 May 2019 at The Glory for THE TAPESTRY PROJECT, a benefit performance with all proceeds donated to the AKT. This benefit performance will follow a group visitation to the AKT with a donated arts workshop in which drag artists will join affected LGBT+ homeless youth in creating visual art together to celebrate the formation of new alliances and support within our wider queer community.

The TAPESTRY PROJECT will be followed by The Glory's ALL DAY PARTY, and all attendees are invited to stay for FREE and celebrate with us.
π³οΈπWHAT IS THE TAPESTRY PROJECT?π³οΈπ
Several months ago, Robert Kocur (Polka Dot) and Jordan Stovall (Wanda Cookie) began planning a way for drag artists performing across London to give back to their surrounding community through impactful work. After a conversation with the AKT, they've arranged a visitation to the young people of AKT with a donated arts workshop and other drag artists from across the London community. The performance will serve as a public-facing event celebrating the work they have done to join these communities and raise funds to give back to the Albert Kennedy Trust for the important work that they do.
AKT supports LGBTQ+ young people in the UK experiencing homelessness or living in hostile environments to find safe homes, employment, education or training and to celebrate their identities in order to improve their life outcomes. Their mission: preventing LGBTQ+ youth homelessness, because no young person should have to choose between a safe home and being who they are.
