For the LGBT Foundation’s Pride Pioneers exhibition at Liverpool Central Library in July 2026, I created a portrait collage celebrating notable LGBTQ+ people with connections to Merseyside.

The artwork highlights the diverse achievements of people born in, or closely associated with, the region, with the aim of celebrating local LGBTQ+ history and inspiring future generations through greater visibility and representation.

Below are photographs of the artwork on display, alongside the accompanying information about each of the individuals featured in the collage.
