This event is part of CRUISING GROUND II (CGII), a continuation of LUX’s 2017 programme CRUISING GROUND, in collaboration with CRUSEV, which engaged with the 50th anniversary of the repeal of the Sexual Offences Act 1967, taking the ponds and cruising areas of LUX’s neighbouring Hampstead Heath as a departure point to explore the geographic and cultural landscape of LUX. CRUISING GROUND II features a public programme of screenings, performances, workshops, and writing, and culminates with the launch of a newly commissioned work by artist Benny Nemerofsky Ramsay.
