Describe yourself
I suppose I’m a bit of a veteran now as an active organiser of things gay – I started 30 years ago this December, when I became secretary of Brighton Lesbian Group.
Why do you live in Brighton?
Brighton is, without question, one of the easiest places in the country for a lesbian to live openly. And I’m a Sussex girl, so it’s home for me.
Pride festival will hold its annual general meeting later this month. It will be the first such meeting for Lesley Burn, who took over as director of Pride (South East) Ltd in February just in time for Winter Pride. She is now preparing for the week-long summer festival, which will run this year from Sunday 26 July to Sunday 3 August.
Using performative strategies and interventionist tactics the city of Hong Kong has become a site for exploration for four of its artists: Pak Sheung-Chuen, Luke Ching, Kwan Sheung-Chi and Kam Lai Wan.
Together they observe and highlight the minutiae of everyday life. While their works are often nothing more than subtle interventions and shifts in perspective, they quietly question the habitual codes of behaviour in urban society.
Presented as videos, photographs and objects, their practice is driven by a desire to understand their surroundings; how people connect and interact with each other, how they behave in public spaces. In everyday occurrences they find little anomalies, moments of chance, the absurd in the ordinary, creating works that are charming and playful.

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
