Other Heroes

An exhibition celebrating the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalization of same sex activity, and LGBT History Month 2017

I was commissioned by Pinsent Masons, a large international law firm, to create a collection of portraits of 24 members of the LGBT community in the UK who have played an important part in LGBT history – in parliament, the law, the arts or more generally – but who do not always receive the recognition they deserve. Each portrait is accompanied by a short first person text.

The portraits and texts were displayed prominently in the foyer of their London HQ to mark

LGBT History Month, and the 50th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality,

and Pinsent Masons’ recent ranking as the second highest employer in the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index

in England, Wales and Scotland.
