As part of Cock For Pride, a multidisciplinary group exhibition over London Pride Weekend, we have invited Documentary and Portrait Photographer Rebecca Zephyr Thomas, to exhibit and collaborate with us, with an exclusive written interview as part of our Photobook Cafe Journal Post series. We have explored their photographic archives of The Nelsons Head throughout the years, and learnt a little about Thomas’s practice as an image maker. Alongside the showcase of Nicky and Sharon, a photograph captured by Thomas wearing looks by Max Allen, Ms Sharon Le Grand an iconic performance artist, and Nicky a professional clown, musician and performer, will be the face of Cock For Pride.
The full transcript is available to read below.
