The event that this flyer refers to was the launch of The Dyke Collective manifesto on the 24th April 2025, held at Dyke Night, a weekly queer social event at The Actors pub, Brighton.
The Brighton Dyke Collective participated in a manifesto-writing workshop with Exploding Appendix in early 2024, and the manifesto was created as a group effort to set the tone for the Collective's future. The event included dykey activities and performances to spread the word that inclusive political action is taking place within the community. Bringing the manifesto launch to this space directly politicised it. The event was designed to celebrate dyke culture with performances, an arm wrestling station, and a table for Queers for Palestine, selling copies of the DC manifesto as part of the regular fundraising effort at the Actors. The manifesto is central to the collective and has inspired lots of dykes to get involved. The DC put these posters all around town, in The Queery, at the Universities, pubs, coffee shops, and bars. The event was a great night, with our Chair MCing, poetry from local dyke poets, music, and a reading of our manifesto to finish the night, read by members of the collective.
Dykes on Decks is an underground electronic music event created in 2022. The event platforms new queer DJs, giving them an opportunity to play their first DJ set out in a club in a supportive, fun and somewhat chaotic environment.
