SUMMARY:: LUSH Liverpool: Stay Queer. No Matter War.
DESCRIPTION:\nLush Liverpool hosts an exhibition showcasing the work by art
 ist Artur Vovchenko\n\n\n\n\nFrom Thursday 20th April until 18th May 2023\
 , Homotopia will collaborate with UKRAINEPRIDE to host a four week lon
 g photography and video exhibition on the third floor at Lush Liverpool. T
 he exhibition will show the lives of queer people living and loving each o
 ther throughout war – raising awareness and showing support for one of t
 he most marginalised communities living in Ukraine.\n\nThe floor will host
  the work by artist Artur Vovchenko\, a queer photographer\, multi-discip
 linary artist and activist based in Ukraine who has been working to tell t
 he stories of the lives of queer people during the war in Kyiv and Kharkiv
 . Vovchenko has captured ten uniquely queer stories – each person’s na
 rrative will be exhibited through five photographs\, an accompanied text t
 elling the individual’s story and a QR code for an audio description. Th
 e exhibition will be accompanied with a special sound design from Nastya V
 ogan.\n\nThe work will be available to buy throughout the exhibition with 
 all funds going to UKRAINEPRIDE’s ‘LGBTQ+ Ukraine Emergency Fund’ 
 to help safeguard Queer Ukrainians affected by war.\n\nThe exhibition is s
 upported by Lush\, All Out\, Liverpool BID Company and UA Action Offi
 ce.\n\n\n\n“In recent years the Ukrainian LGBT community has made consid
 erable progress in protecting its rights and promoting its diversity. Now 
 it is extremely important for us not to lose\, but to preserve and multipl
 y the gains. The exhibition tells about how in the darkest time queer Ukra
 inians remain themselves – this is a personal victory for each of them.\
 nThe support we have received in partnership with Homotopia is unexpected 
 and incredible for us\, from the very beginning of the project to the exhi
 bition. We hope to invite them to do another collaboration in Ukraine afte
 r we win. \nFor Ukraine\, this project is another opportunity to speak wi
 th pride about its diversity\, no matter what.”\n– Sofiia Lapina\, Pre
 sident of UKRAINEPRIDE NGO\n\n\n\nHomotopia x UKRAINEPRIDE Photo and Video
