And that’s a wrap!

Homotopia Festival 2025: Uprising has come to an end, what a month it has been uprising beside you this November!

This year’s festival burst with explorative art: from murals to drag, poetry to protest. As Liverpool hosted an unapologetically queer, defiant, grassroots arts festival, audiences experienced theatre, live art, visual art, film, photography, heritage, workshops, screenings and more. Together, we celebrated creativity that was grassroots, intersectional, and gloriously unruly.

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank all the people who collaborated with us, be this artists, audiences, organisations, funders, our incredible team – you all played such a huge part in helping to make this festival as special as it was.

A note from our Festival Producer, Natalie Lloyd:

Thank you for being part of Homotopia Festival: UPRISING. Whether you were creating work, producing, running a venue, teching a show, supporting audiences, volunteering, or holding everything together behind the scenes – I genuinely appreciate the time, energy, and care you brought to this year’s festival. It was a true honour and privilege to work closely with so many of you.
