Homotopia, the Liverpool-based arts and social justice organisation, has appointed Topher Campbell as its new director and CEO. The Afro-Queer artist and filmmaker, who lives in the city centre, said in a time when the community are facing "a more hostile environment", providing spaces that offer "community, dialogue, joy, and creativity for us and by us are essential".
“I plan to attract big names as well as local talent. I want Homotopia to entertain, inspire and lead the conversation about what it is to be LGBTQIA + for all including people from the global majority and trans people.” He said: “We are living in an increasingly hostile world where some people are openly opposing LGBTQIA + and anti-gay laws are being passed and enforced globally. There are people online and in real life causing real harm including physical abuse towards queer people. Homotopia, through the art and performance it platforms, will speak to a better world, including the right for LGBTQIA+ people to live free from harm.
