Arts and Culture in solidarity with Liverpool Against Racism (LAR)

On behalf of arts and culture organisations across Liverpool City Region, we welcome and support the forthcoming LAR festival. Many of us are actively involved in the programme and are proud to be part of the stand that the City is making against racism, intolerance and hate.

We recognise the important role that creativity has to play in imagining an inclusive and equitable future, and are committed in the work we do to help realise that future through respecting and celebrating difference, speaking out against racism, and reflecting the diversity of our artists, participants and audiences.
