What would it look like to queer the city? If only for two weeks…
30 October – 15 November
Across Liverpool and Online
Traditionally, Town Planning is a sector dominated by straight white cis men. Without diversity of thought or experience, how can our city offer the space, infrastructure and safety required for all of its residents to flourish?
Meanwhile, dedicated LGBTQIA spaces are constantly disappearing. Those that exist in Liverpool are almost universally inaccessible.
What is the visible face for LGBTQIA life and culture in Liverpool, if any?
Join us as we take queer art and culture to the streets.
Let’s Queer The City!
ART CRAWL
We’re turning the city’s walls into an outdoor exhibition. Take a tour around the Homotopia Art Crawl, featuring huge art installations by 8 LGBTQIA artists, in prominent locations around the city. Grab a map or follow along with the audio guide. Suitable for all ages.
Featuring art work by Fox Fisher, Colin Lievens, Kiara Mohamed, Soph Welton, Sophie Green, Michael Parry, Millie Chesters and OyH.
