A photography exhibition by Fiona Freund representing and recognising the LGBT+ community and their contribution to the world of work, in The City of London and beyond.
We are celebrating the LGBT+ community in the City of London in a unique, bold, visual way that will pave the way for a new more inclusive workplace for everyone and we’re asking employers to invite everyone to bring their whole self to work. Fiona Freund collated 60 + large photographic prints and stories and showed them to the public in September 2021. Flying Leaf designed the brand identity, exhibition stands and an exhibition catalogue.
The exhibition was on at The Space, 3FA, Broadgate, EC2M 2PA, September 2021. And is now touring various workplaces and will be open to the public again soon, watch this space.
For the September exhibition, Fiona organised for nighttime projections onto the iconic UBS building and brought everyone together for a spectacular, launch party, with fabulous entertainment and leaders, and celebrities from the LGBT+ community. We shared the images and personal stories of the LGBT+ community and their allies from the city and across the UK. Celebrating them and the huge contribution they make and showing why diversity is the lifeblood of The City of London and beyond.

Peter Tatchell on CorporateQueer
Campaigner, author, journalist and broadcaster, Peter Tatchell has devoted his life to speaking out against discrimination and injustice.
Not only does he appear in the CorporateQueer exhibition, in this film he talks about the importance of the exhibition, for LGBTQ+ people and their allies:
“I think this exhibition is really important and valuable because it shows diversity within big corporate firms. It shows a range of individuals doing a wide range of different jobs, all of whom contribute to the success of their companies. So it really does produce the evidence that LGBT+ people are in the city of London…”
