FOR YOUR PLEASURE: 15 YEARS OF DUOVISION
📍@OpenEyeGallery
📆 Until 9 March
Spend your weekend celebrating the fledgling queer club culture of the 90s in this incredible exhibition using photography and film, curated by guest curators @duovision_arts, and supported by Homotopia.
“Once upon a time there were cities where squats were legal, rents affordable and old nightclubs sat empty. In these recession-hit places, kids from mixed backgrounds played and created together. Music was made, clubs were formed, boundaries were broken and great times were had. This was the UK in the early 1990s.’’ – DuoVision, guest curators @martin_green_sound & @jameslawler65

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
📍St Helens Thatto Heath Library: Wednesday 26th pm 3-5
📍Wavertree Library: Thursday 27th 3-5
