Black Angel was a pioneering club night in the late 1990s founded by Claud Cunningham and Paula Gannon-Lewis. It started in Manchester before expanding into Leeds and London. Black Angel gave birth to the Black and Asian LGBTQ club scene in Manchester and, more importantly, provided the first women-centred safe place for Black and Asian women (and allies) to come together and be themselves.

To celebrate 25 years since its inception, Claud and Paula are making a Black Angel documentary to ensure the experiences of Black and Asian LBT women aren’t lost to time. The Black Angel documentary will be premiered in 2023, accompanied by a powerful touring exhibition of archive images taken over 25 years of groundbreaking events.
