Shout x The Pansy Project: Panel Discussion

Join Paul Harfleet and guests to discuss the experience of homophobia and transphobia in Birmingham over the last twenty years through the lens of The Pansy Project. Harfleet will host the conversation with the members from the LGBTQ+ community in Birmingham to ask, how far have we come, what are our challenges and where do we go from here?

Speakers TBA.

Since founding The Pansy Project in 2005, artist Paul Harfleet has been planting pansies at sites of homophobic and transphobic abuse. Each flower is documented, titled after the words of the abuse, and added to The Pansy Project Website. This quiet yet powerful act gently confronts hate crime and brings visibility to LGBTQ+ experiences that often go unreported. His photographs have been exhibited internationally in various contexts.  To date, Harfleet has planted more than 300 individual pansies around the world, from London to New York and beyond.
