The LGBTQ+ artists include Londoner Bernice Mulenga.
Mulenga’s photography, which celebrates nightlife, music, movement, colour and Black queer culture can be viewed at Comptoms Pub.
Meanwhile, Portuguese artist Emanuel De Carvalho’s work about fluid and non-binary gender identities will spruce up the famous G-A-Y nightclub.
How can I get involved this Pride month?
To get involved in the AR exhibition, users can scan the rainbow-splashed Snapcode at 68 Old Compton Street using Snapchat.
Visitors will then receive a guided tour through the exhibition revealing each artist’s inspiration behind the artwork.
However, the excitement doesn’t end there!
The experience also transforms the sky into the rainbow colours of the Pride flag.
