Colours Of Pride
26 June 2006
Mladen Peric’s Colours of Pride celebrates life,
love and diversity in a stylish and historic
collection of photographs capturing the faces
and spirit of Pride festivals from 1993 to the
present.
The images portray the festivals’ vibrant atmosphere and are a gallery
extravaganza, reflecting the full spectrum of this colourful celebration of
life, and the diversity of the LGBT community participating in it.
Editors, critics and numerous members of the public have all endorsed the
‘feel-good’ quality of these images, maintaining equally that they are sexy,
stylish, humorous, expressive and poignant.
“Few can look at Peric’s photographs without smiling or being ambushed
by a warm, life-affirming feeling,” said Amanda Elliot, managing editor of
Positive Nation.
“His images unequivocally declare that it is a good, healthy and joyful thing
to be proud of your sexuality.”
“On another level, the book is an important historical document for future
generations wanting to trace the development of the LGBT movement.”
The book has been sponsored by Compass, the gay financial advisers,
which will ensure that Peric’s historic collection of images is published in
time for the EuroPride festival.
“This book is a natural way of reflecting the principles and values behind
our businesses. We believe that regardless of a person’s sexuality, gender,
creed, colour or health status they should be treated with respect,” Chris
Morgan, managing director of Compass said.
Mladen Peric said that he was “delighted” with the deal to publish his book.
"I am delighted that the Colours of Pride book is sponsored by Compass,
an organisation that is highly respected—not just for their professionalism
and success in business—but also for their humanity. Their financial and
moral support has been crucial in finalising this exciting and historical
project. I hope you will enjoy the book," Peric said.
Colours of Pride will be released in time for the EuroPride London 2006
with exhibition and book signing events at London City Hall to help raise
funds for Positive Nation.

Orgulho Colorido
26/6/2006
Livro registra a história do orgulho gay londrino
Por Lufe Steffen
O livro “Colours of Pride” (Cores do Orgulho), organizado por Mladen Peric, faz uma coletânea
de imagens de paradas do orgulho gay, de 1993 para cá, que rolaram em Londres e arredores.
“Na maior parte das fotos, podemos ver pessoas sorrindo, felizes, orgulhosas”, disse Amanda
Elliot, editora da revista Positive Nation – que combate o avanço da aids. “Suas imagens
passam a mensagem de que é bom, saudável e alegre ter orgulho de sua sexualidade. Por
outro lado, o livro é um importante documento histórico para gerações futuras que quiserem
visualizar o crescimento do movimento glbt”, disse.
O livro foi patrocinado pela Compass, grupo financeiro com foco em anunciantes gays. Seu
diretor, Chris Morgan, declarou: “Este livro é um caminho natural de reflexão de princípios e
valores. Nós acreditamos que independente da sexualidade, gênero, cor, religião, estado de
saúde da pessoa, todos devem ser tratados com respeito”.
“Colours of Pride” é um grande painel fotográfico, com imagens clicadas pelo autor Mladen.
Através desse desfile de registros, podemos ver todas as categorias representadas: drags,
garotas, garotos, casais, fantasiados, turmas fervidas, enfim, todos os personagens que fazem
parte da história das paradas gays, não só em Londres mas no mundo todo.
O autor Mladen Peric tem um trabalho extenso como fotógrafo de moda, música e arte, com
projetos publicados em livros, revistas e jornais e também exposições em galerias.
O lançamento de “Colours of Pride”, aliás, ganhará uma exposição. As fotos que compõem o
livro estarão de 1º a 13 de julho na galeria City Hall, em Londres. Noites de autógrafos do
livro acontecerão durante a exposição, e os eventos terão renda revertida para a revista
Positive Nation e seus projetos de combate ao hiv.
