Seaweed in the Fruit Locker
Monday, 9 February, 2026
How can the rhythms of songs incite a crew, family or collective solidarity? Rhys Morgan is the 3rd guest of our ‘as a chorus’ mini series, sharing 3 queer sea shanties from the project and choir, Seaweed in the Fruit Locker. Using Polari, a gay slang used to declare and protect gay people historically, the choir rewrites and performs historic sea shanties to describe queer lived experiences and histories. Founded in 2022, we speak about Morgan’s role in the choir, how queering shanties is a return to their origins,Credits (in order of appearance);Lion’s Den; Written by Rhys Morgan, performed by Seaweed in the Fruit LockerHell Cats; Written by Sef Penrose, performed by Seaweed in the Fruit LockerI’ve My Own Suggestions Too; Written by Ben Doney, performed by Seaweed in the Fruit LockerBio;Rhys Morgan is a queer interdisciplinary artist and curator based in Plymouth, UK.
