The Pansy Project Talk & Walking Tour

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 progress made through the project and the ongoing challenges surrounding homophobia. 

After the walking tour, we will return to FACT for an afternoon of artist talks and presentations featuring three artists and members of FACT's Studio/Lab.
