LEICESTER
10 July - 15 August 2021

 

Across July & August, Liberty UK Leicester will bring you three exciting new art trails in the city centre. We have been working with members of the local community to hear their stories and explore issues such as isolation, freedom and identity. Through conversations and workshops we have crafted new stories that shape a new vision for a more inclusive and optimistic future providing us with the strength to move forward and meet challenges that lay ahead.
