Click here to listen to an atmospheric soundscape produced by sound artist Michele Bianchin to accompany the viewing of 'Not titled' by Bob Jardine.

Bob Jardine’s series of photographs documents a one-off drag show at the nightclub The Joint, offering a glimpse into the queer scene in Milton Keynes in the 1980s. Queer spaces have always existed, though they have not always been officially recognised or recorded, often found away from the public eye or forced to go underground. Jardine’s photographs record these marginalised spaces as rich sites of creativity, safety and acceptance. Outside of heteronormative and binary conventions, the subjects of these images defiantly reveal the communities that exist, and thrive, in the spaces of the in-between.
