**Boogaloo Stu** and **Ladypat** are to bring ***Queer Hearts***, a year-long cultural exchange between **Isle of Wight** and **Brighton**, to Brighton’s **Jubilee Library** in **January 2023**.

Boogaloo Stu and Ladypat share a love of psychedelic and surreal pop art, informed by their maverick queer sensibility. In *Queer Hearts*, they share their eye-popping artworks and rally their local communities to celebrate queer heroes.

*Queer Hearts* began with a six-week exhibition run and art workshops at **Ventnor Exchange** (cultural hub and home of the celebrated **Ventnor Fringe**) on the Isle of Wight, which continues there until **Sunday, December 18**. The project then moves to Brighton’s Jubilee Library in early 2023.

Partnering with local charity organisations (youth opportunity charity **Brave Island** on the Isle of Wight and LGBTQ+ mental health charity **MindOut** in Brighton), the **Queer Hearts Awards workshops** will offer a drop-in opportunity for charity service users and others, to create a collage artwork with a message dedicated to a queer person who made a positive impact on their lives. These artworks will be on display, and then digitally archived afterwards.

To close the project, in May 2023, a group of queer islanders will have the opportunity to visit **Brighton Fringe**, to educate, inspire and forge friendships among queer people and further open up a cultural dialogue between the two locations.
