The British Embassy in Paris has launched an open call for queer British artists residing in France to participate in a landmark group exhibition this June. Organized in collaboration with The Norm Queer Agency and artist-curator Daniella McNulty, the initiative marks the first time the embassy has hosted an art show specifically dedicated to Pride. Applications across all mediums are being accepted until April 15, 2026, with selected works to be displayed within the embassy and its gardens.
This collaboration represents a significant intersection of diplomacy and cultural activism, aimed at uplifting LGBTQI+ voices within the British diaspora in France. By partnering with organizations like the Official Olympics Pride Houses and Central Saint Martins, the project underscores a growing institutional commitment to queer visibility. The exhibition serves as a platform to bridge cultures and provide a high-profile stage for artists whose identities and lived perspectives are often marginalized in traditional diplomatic spaces.
