The Holly Johnson Story - The Library Tour
We’re coming to a library near you! 

As part of The Holly Johnson Story, Homotopia and @duovision_arts  have been recording conversations with people recounting their lived experiences of Liverpool in the 1980’s. From this they’ve created two pieces of audio, one is focussed on LGBTQ+ art and culture and the other on the HIV and AIDs epidemic. 

🎧 Both are available to listen in The Holly Story or as podcasts (link in bio)

They will be continuing to collect stories and build on these crucial and often unheard experiences alongside workshops about Liverpool in the 1980’s and exploring key themes in the exhibition. 

To join us in a discussion and/or have your story recorded please attend one of the following . . . 

📍Birkenhead Central Library: Thu 20th February am 11- 1 
📍Central Library: Thu 20th pm 3 - 5
