WC1N 1JD
Thursday 12th January
7pm - 10pm
Dorothy Max Prior in conversation with Melanie
Xulu of Moof Magazine and an exclusive
screening of an extract from What You Could Not Visualise: Rema
Rema, a film by Marco Porsia. Books and
ephemera for sale, signing by Max.
A vibrant, wry, and engaging account of life as an adventurous, queer young
person in late 1970s London discovering themselves as an artist, and an
individual.
While working as a photographer’s model, gallery usher, and exotic dancer,
Dorothy “Max” Prior witnessed the births of
Adam and the Ants, The Monochrome Set,
The Sex Pistols, and Throbbing Gristle, as
well as drumming in her own cult band Rema Rema and recording
with Industrial Records.
Her exuberant commentaries, each presented as a stand-alone episode, illustrate
the multilayered nature of the London music, art, and fashion
worlds of the late 1970s, and the overlap between the early punk scene with the
city’s rapidly evolving club and queer cultures.
