Big news!! 📣✨ Thrilled to announce our new CEO here at Homotopia - Afro Queer artist and filmmaker Topher Campbell. Topher Campbell says, “I am thrilled to be joining the team at Homotopia. Homotopia is the UK’s premier and longest running Queer Arts Festival and has a crucial role to play in supporting and elevating the work of LGBTQIA artists nationally and internationally and I am very excited to have the opportunity to play a part in this mission. In a time where LGBTQIA people are increasingly facing a more hostile environment, providing spaces that offer community, dialogue, joy, and creativity for us and by us are essential. Liverpool, with its rich heritage of music, culture and Black History, is a global city and the perfect environment for championing LGBTQIA culture. Homotopia is a jewel in the city’s crown and as such I hope to elevate and build on its national and international reputation for showcasing the best Queer music, film, theatre, performance, visual art and fashion with fabulousness and bite.” https://lnkd.in/gi3WYfkZ 📸 Brian Benson
