Cock For Pride: A Celebration of Queer Culture

This July, join us for an exciting and vibrant collaboration between The Photobook Café, Rapid Eye and The Cock Tavern, as we come together to celebrate Queer Culture in honour of Pride 2025!

What’s Happening
At the Cock For Pride exhibition, we’ll be showcasing a diverse group of emerging and established LGBTQIA+ artists. This multidisciplinary exhibition will ignite important conversations and amplify Queer voices on an international scale. Featured artists to be announced.

Our FREE public opening invites all to come together and celebrate diverse and underrepresented Queer talents. No RSVP required, just bring yourself, your friends, and your Pride!

Want More?
The exhibition will also be accompanied by an inspiring public programme featuring a specially curated Queer Library window display at The Photobook Café. This month, we’re highlighting works from amazing Queer publishers and creatives, including Jesse Glazzard and Marc Vallée.

The Cock Tavern
A true icon of London’s queer nightlife scene, The Cock Tavern in Kennington has long been a symbol of friendship and inclusivity. Led by Farika Holden, Patrick Black, and Leean James, the Cock brings warmth and community to the forefront. Their mantra: friendship overrides race, religion, and sexuality.

Rapid Eye
As passionate advocates for the creative process, they are proud to be part of Cock For Pride, supporting the production of artworks by LGBTQIA+ creatives and pushing the boundaries of queer representation in art. With their commitment to fostering a supportive, inclusive space, Rapid Eye Darkrooms continues to stand at the forefront of contemporary photography and printmaking.
