In partnership with Homotopia for this year’s festival, artist Paul Harfleet will explore their twenty-year relationship with Liverpool through The Pansy Project. This global art initiative has seen over 300 pansies planted at sites of homophobic and transphobic abuse. Paul will lead a short walking tour of past and new plantings, marking locations where hate crimes have affected the LGBTQ+ community in Liverpool. Paul will discuss both the continuing need for the project and the different ways nature influences their practice.

Join us as Homotopia and FACT take part in Remember Nature 2025 – a nationwide day of artist-led action honouring Gustav Metzger’s vision of art as a force for change. Artists Paul Harfleet, Ria Bagley, Tom Doubtfire and Bernadette McBride respond to urgent questions of climate and community. Be part of this powerful moment for reflection, resistance and imagination.
