| An Evening with April Ashley at the Southbank Centre - 18 February 2009 |
Arts festival Homotopia is preparing to launch a two year heritage project to research, explore and document the experiences of transgender people in Britain over the past 70 years, focussing on the life of trans model and actress April Ashley MBE.
Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, there will be a number of ‘reminiscence’ workshops and opportunities for members of the transgender community to share their own experiences.
One of the outcomes of the project activities will be a 12 month exhibition in collaboration with the Museum of Liverpool.
