Our love is the same love

Same Love Project

Couples! Do you fancy having your portrait taken in the comfort of your own home for free?

If so, photography student Will Corder might be your man as he’s working on a community based photography project called ‘Same Love’ and needs same-sex couples in our area to be sitters.

The project, initially confined to the Bournemouth area but now spreading east, was inspired by a quote from Stonewall:

“Long-term gay relationships are being publicly compared to ‘bestiality’, ‘slavery’ and ‘child abuse’ by opponents of equal marriage who will stop at almost nothing to prevent Britain’s lesbian, gay and bisexual people from enjoying this last measure of equality.”

Corder has decided to fight back with his camera and to make a body of work which can be shown in local public spaces like libraries and schools in the area where the photos were taken.

He said:

“Same sex couples are no different to any others.  I want to show them for what they are – caring relationships between two people. Gay, straight, or otherwise, it’s the same love.”

City blows an eco fuse

People DayThe weekend of  June 14-15 is going to be a busy one for the city as not only do we have People’s Day Festival in the North Laine, but the Council is also sponsoring a couple more shows and events.

First up is The Eco Technology Show which takes place at the Brighton Centre over two days. It’ll showcase everything green including self-build, renovating houses, green transport and technology, and there’ll be over 60 workshops for anyone to participate in.

An entire floor will be dedicated to ultramodern concept cars and vehicles so you can have a good look at the electric cars which’ll allow you to park in those dedicated spaces across the city that are always empty.

Visitors will also be able to test a range of low emission cars and electric bikes along the seafront which sounds great fun.

As befitting any self-respecting festival these days, the show will spawn a fringe that will spread all over the city, leaking into Brighton Fashion Week (June 12 – 16 – various venues) in the form of sustainable clothes and accessories, and into the People’s Day Fest where they’ll set up some dedicated stalls and also be giving out information and advice.

The Fringe also includes the popular Eco Open Houses, where people will make like Shakin’ Stevens and open their green doors to let the public see how eco initiatives actually work in practice and to give them an idea of the overall costs. In all, there’ll be 21 houses to take a peek at. This runs on both the weekends of June 14 -15  and 21 -22.

The Eco Technology show is the only event that you have to shell out for and then it’s only a fiver, with children under 16 going in for free. It runs from 9am-5pm on the Friday, and 10am-5pm on the Saturday.
