PSA is a small collective of visual artists, performers and musicians formed in the wake of the pandemic to bring people together after so long apart. Themed around the second Summer of Love in 1988, we are bringing you a night of art, performance and music to inspire love and collective joy. Our workshops and activities will include life drawing, dance movement and a variety of DJ sets. Come dance with us at our inaugural party in one of London's most iconic queer venues, VFD!
