Description
Club Kali is the UK’s first ever safe space welcoming all LGBTQ+ people to connect and celebrate their diverse South Asian heritage. It was set up by Dj Ritu MBE and Rita OBE as a London-based club night, and grew into an inclusive and welcoming LGBTQ+ community.

Club Kali's 30th Birthday project 'Where East Meets West' documents and showcases the rich history of the Club Kali from its inception in 1995 to the present day. The collated materials have been used to create an exhibition launched at Islington Museum, a podcast series produced with SocialBroadcasts, and an archive deposited at Bishopsgate Institute.

The project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery Players.
