"In 2022 the South Asian & Middle Eastern artist/performance collective, House of Spice experienced racism, whilst out celebrating in Manchester’s Canal Street. This was reported but no charges were made. Motivated by the outcome, House Mother Lucky Roy Singh gave a powerful speech during Manchester Pride in 2022, promising to turn this negative experience into a positive outcome...a year later, House of Spice are holding JAM!
JAM is a rally, it's an opportunity to take up space, it's a celebration!"
Rainbow Noir is 10 this year! There will be more information to come about how we will be celebrating across the whole year, keep an eye out! Also if you were around in the early years from 2013 - 2015 we'd love to hear from you - drop us an email, we'd love to hear from you!
Rainbow Noir is a volunteer led, social, peer support and community action group, based in Manchester for LGBTQI people of colour.
