The Pansy Project
An exhibition documenting the quiet, yet powerful act of planting pansies at sites of homophobic and transphobic abuse worldwide by artist Paul Harfleet.
Since founding The Pansy Project in 2005, Paul Harfleet has been planting pansies at sites of homophobic and transphobic abuse. Each flower is documented, titled after the words of the abuse, and added to this website. Through this quiet yet powerful act, the ongoing project gently confronts hate crime and brings visibility to LGBTQ+ experiences that often go unreported. To date, Harfleet has planted more than 300 pansies around the world—from London to New York and beyond.
The exhibition here at Waterside will showcase selected photographs from the project, highlighting the experiences of members of the LGBTQ+ community both locally here in Manchester, and globally.
The Pansy Project launches as part of Pride in Trafford 12 – 17 May.
