Friday 11th July 

TOUR 4pm-5.30pm

A free, bespoke tour of the Flowers exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery, Chelsea, highlighting queer narratives, expression, and resistance through botanical imagery.

NOTHING ON SATURDAY

Sunday 13th July

MEDITATE/PRAY 11am-12pm

A guided meditation/ prayer service with Rev. Edward Collier at Copleston Church, reflecting on LGBTQ+ pioneers in the Anglican tradition—people who have transformed the Church by living openly and faithfully. Names such as James Alison, Jayne Ozanne, and Jarel Robinson-Brown will be honoured.

FLOWERS 12:20-2:30pm

An interactive workshop led by Saatchi Gallery Learning taking place at Copleston Church and Centre, exploring works from the gallery’s hit Flowers – Flora in Contemporary Art & Culture exhibition. Participants will engage with flower-themed works by queer icons including Andy Warhol, Pedro Almodóvar and Yayoi Kusama—and create their own flower-inspired art using Lino printing techniques. 

DEREK JARMAN GARDEN GUIDED WALK AT BOLD TENDENCIES 3pm-5pm

A guided walk through the Derek Jarman Garden (2013) at Bold Tendencies in Peckham - a celebration of queer love, ecology, and radical beauty - imagined by his long-time companion Keith Collins (1966–2018) and designed by Dan Bristow (Propagating Dan)

BLUE 5.30pm-7pm

A moving film screening at Copleston Church and Centre, with live sound reflections from composer Simon Fisher-Turner of Derek Jarman’s seminal final film Blue—a poetic, searing meditation on love, mortality, and AIDS, composed entirely in sound and a single screen of saturated blue.

Queer Naturally is rooted in a radical openness: all different, all equal, all welcome. Come as you are and take part in this creative and healing journey through flowers, faith, art, memory and joy.
