Letterpress - limited edition of 50
Inspired by the multitude of open questions in the DIY material of the Bradford LGBTQ+ Archive, my print invites you to consider how you feel, personally and politically. The writers of the pamphlet Bradford Gay were funny, politically savvy and posed questions which still feel relevant to being queer here now. My print playfully illuminates one which feels important, as our physical meeting spaces dwindle, our trans loved ones face hate and finding joy can be hard. Asking where the excitement has gone provokes another, more urgent question: how can we get it back?

A letterpress printmaker, Harriet is interested in the points of transformation between the print multiple as an art object and a tool of information sharing and collective knowledge. Inspired by histories of radical and popular print, she makes playful pieces which have fun with type and centre the power of the printed word as a tool for connection – to ourselves, others, the past and the future.
