Brownton Abbey

Brownton Abbey were due to present a small-scale version of their event Brownton Abbey Bless bar in Hastings as part of the 2020 Knotty Performance Festival.

This unfortunately did not go ahead due to covid19, here is a flavour of what you would have seen.

Created by and centering queer people of colour, especially those with d/Disabilities (s/Super Powers), Brownton Abbey features a collective of international and UK based artists.

This genre-defying event fuses a dance party, performance art and the personal/political, as a catalyst to celebrate intersectional identities.
