Homotopia – ‘Liverpool’s Annual Celebration of Queer Culture

Homotopia is back in Liverpool for its 6th ‘annual celebration of queer culture’ in the city.

The Homotopia festival celebrates Liverpool’s queer culture in its entirity with a whole host of events covering theatre, art, film, performance, heritage and photograpy.
Homotopia launched bringing a fresh new honesty to the city; later to be named Capital of Culture.

“For too long people in Liverpool have had to look to other cities to raise the rainbow flag with pride. Through the emergence of a genuinely home-grown event I hope that Homotopia helps in creating a cultural shift in the way lesbians and gays are represented throughout the city. This inaugural event will create a platform giving the Liverpool l/g/b/t community the chance to present an inclusive and unique event up to and including 2008 and beyond.”

“I hope that Homotopia is the catalyst that will bring together people irrespective of their sexualities, through the passion, wit and creative energies of the many talented individuals that have made this event happen.”

Gary Everett
Festival Director

Homotopia receives wide-ranging support from venues, artists and organisations all over Liverpool and with their continuing input the festival is able to bring us another year of fun and frolics.
