Join photographer Ming De Nasty in celebrating the vibrant LGBTQIA+ community of Liverpool’s city centre through a unique socially engaged photography project; Residents.
Residents pictures members of Liverpool’s LGBTQIA+ community in the places they frequent, via images by Ming.
LGBTQIA+ people have long gathered in the city centre for safety, community, and self-expression – Residents aims to honour that culture by making their presence visible via public artworks. This project aims to be intergenerational, reflecting the long LGBTQIA+ history of Liverpool and a younger experience of what the LGBTQIA+ scene is today – where people of all ages meet and connect.
If you live in the heart of Liverpool or feel like the city centre is ‘home’ we would love to hear from you! To be part of a major public exhibition celebrating LGBTQIA+ identity, all participants must live within the Liverpool City Region. Your portrait will become part of a public exhibition, displayed across the city centre in a celebration of identity and belonging.
If you want to join this project, email mingdenasty@gmail.com with subject line “Residents project“.
Residents is a Socially Engaged Photography project by Ming de Nasty, Open Eye Gallery, Homotopia and LGBTQIA+ community members. Residents is part of the Photo Here programme – a series of 6 residencies with a variety of groups around the Liverpool City Region. Residents is part of Homotopia Festival 2025.
