Hot London boys calling: BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! opens Gallery Café in London

Ghislain Pascal and Tamara Beckwith Veroni of The Little Black Gallery are delighted to announce their first BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café in Fitzrovia, London is now open.

The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café is a new cultural hub to promote queer and gay fine art photography – as part of their wider BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! program.

“Galleries have become such boring, alien, elitist, and unfriendly white boxes that nobody wants to visit anymore,” says Ghislain Pascal. “We’re trying to create a friendly, welcoming environment where people can enjoy visiting, get a cup of coffee or glass of wine, whilst picking up a copy of our latest BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! magazine, book, zine, or artwork, whilst chatting to our friendly front-of-house team.

The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café is located at:

30C Warren Street
Fitzrovia
London W1T 5NF

Opening hours
Tuesday – Saturday 11 a.m.-8 p.m.
(except Wednesday until 6 p.m.)
Sunday 2-6 p.m.

It is the first fine art photography gallery dedicated to queer and gay photography.

The launch exhibition includes works by AdeY, Yves de Brabander, Mathias Chaillot, Alexander Courtman, Alessandro Pollio, and Michael Søndergaard, and Tyler Udall.

Every Wednesday night a leading member of the queer and gay community will talk as part of the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! MEETS program.

The autumn/winter schedule includes some amazing speakers including Ben Spriggs, the editor in chief of Elle Decoration; Joseph Galliano-Doig MBE, the co-founder and CEO of Queer Britain, the U.K.’s first queer museum; and ceramicist William Martin. And the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café will feature amazing BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! photographers Mathias Chaillot, Yves de Brabander, Mariano Vivanco and Ashish Gupta.

BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! is a program started by The Little Black Gallery in 2018, curated by co-founder Ghislain Pascal, to promote queer and gay fine art photography.

It now represents more than 78 photographers from 33 countries – including China, India, Iran, Kenya, Poland, and Russia where gay rights are repressed and queer lives are under constant threat.

BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! includes exhibitions, books, the bi-annual magazine, zines, photography courses, portfolio reviews, and the main online art platform.

The BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café will exclusively serve its own BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Wine – red, white, rosé, and sparkling.

The red (Braucol, Duras, Syrah), white (Mauzac) and sparkling (Mauzac) wines are all organic wines sourced from the Gaillac region in France – where Ghislain Pascal lives. Whilst the rosé (Grenache, Cinsault) is from Provence.

Whilst the BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Gallery Café will exclusively serve BOYS! BOYS! BOYS! Coffee, an organic Castillo coffee from Finca El Dimante in Huila, Colombia.
