Jason Okundaye will speak about his book Revolutionary Acts, a social history of Black gay men in Britain

The book features oral histories of love, friendship, and desire from many Black men in areas such as Brixton and Clapham. Jason Okundaye was born to British-Nigerian parents in South London in 1997. He writes essays, features, and profiles on politics and culture for publications including The Guardian, The London Review of Books, British Vogue, GQ, Vice, Dazed, and i-D. He also co-curates the digital archive Black and Gay, Back in the Day, which documents Black LGBTQ+ life in Britain since the 1970s. He holds a first-class degree in Human, Social, and Political Sciences from Pembroke College, University of Cambridge. Revolutionary Acts, his debut book, was published by Faber in 2024.
