Cholera Walking Tour, an infectious blend of drag, science & environmental justice hits Liverpool this July.
This July, Liverpool's streets will be contaminated with creativity as a local drag artist will be leading audiences through the city's hidden waterways and forgotten histories in this provocative walking tour.
The project is funded by Ecological Citizen(s) Network+ with additional support from Liverpool Hope University. Flow. Walk. Drag is a participatory art-science collaboration with water as the source of life and activism in Liverpool and Margate. This joyful and queer exploration uses drag performance, interactive maps and walking tours to reimagine ecological citizenship through a lens of biodiversity and playful species-crossing.
The Cholera Walking Tour (July 25-27) will tackle Liverpool's relationship with water, disease and social (in)justice through the arts.
Co-created with Toxteth L8 residents, Liverpool based artists, social researchers, microbiologists and Granby Winter Garden, the tour emerges from genuine community voices and lived experiences.
"We're not just performing history," explains the creative team. "We're diagnosing present-day symptoms of environmental injustice and offering a different kind of treatment – one that centres collective wellbeing, communal knowledge and joyful resistance."
