Community Consultation 2021
How can we create a visible and safe future for LGBTQIA people in Liverpool?
Following a recent spate of violent homophobic hate crimes in central Liverpool, Culture Liverpool (the city council’s department for culture and tourism) approached Homotopia and LCR Pride Foundation and asked us to put together a creative, community-led response.
We created a 2-year proposal that combines visible queer art with a programme of community building and training for venues and transport providers. Liverpool City Council has agreed to fund this project.
We want to share our ideas with you, but crucially, we want to hear your ideas and understand where/who/how the funds can best be allocated. Our proposal was deliberately flexible to leave plenty of room for input from across the city’s LGBTQIA communities.
