This Saturday don`t miss Artist in Conversation: Ben Youdan
22 March, 1-2.30pm
Museum of Liverpool, £12
Liverpool artist @benyoudanart was commissioned to create a new portrait of @mrhollyjohnson as part of The Holly Johnson Story at @museumofliverpool, produced by @duovision_arts and supported by Homotopia.
Ben is an acclaimed international artist, whose work plays with the iconography of queer fetish scenes in his art, unapologetically celebrating queer culture. His mixed media work employs a wide variety of techniques and processes including collage, drawing, painting, printmaking and photography, to create imagery that takes inspiration from the iconography and ephemera of popular culture. His pieces explore themes such as identity, glamour and sexuality.

The Holly Johnson Story - The Library Tour
📍Wavertree Library
📆 Thursday 27th Feb, 3-5pm
As part of The @mrhollyjohnson 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 Johnson Story @museumofliverpool 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 these in the exhibition.
Pop into Wavertree Library on Thursday afternoon to share your story

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
