Emily Collyer, also known as @hairypitsntits on Instagram, is an illustrator and artist dedicated to uplifting the voices of queer women and femmes within her art. Through the use of bright colours and themes of sex, body positivity and sexual empowerment, Emily’s art challenges the societal norms that are placed on us under a patriarchal society. Emily is also the co-founder of Obscene Pomegranate, a grass-roots queer magazine dedicated to uplifting the voices of queer creatives. She set up the launch party of the first issue which took place in Project Space Plus where she exhibited some of her most vibrant pieces as well as curated the exhibition alongside many other artists. Emily has also exhibited her work with other independent creative collectives such as The Segment Collective at their launch event at The Bicycle Shop. As well as this Emily has collaborated with independent queer musicians across the UK, such as Maddie Morris and Eden J Howells to promote the releases of their music.
