An exhibition celebrating new acquisitions from Jimmy Somerville. In 1984 Jimmy Somervilles first band, Bronski Beat, released their debut album, The Age of Consent. The album title was a response to the age of consent for gay men which at the time was 21 in the United Kingdom. For heterosexual relationships the age of consent was 16. This exhibition presents a new set of materials donated by Jimmy Somerville to our collection. It includes T-Shirts from the ACT-UP campaign, a customised Levis jacket, hand typed lyrics to Bronski Beat track Screaming and promotional posters for Smalltown Boy. In our screening room we are pleased to present the short documentary Why? (2024); a reimagined video for Bronski Beats enduring LGBTQ+ anthem, originally released in 1984.
