Pansey Project Charity Auction

On Friday 13 July, Tooks Chambers in association with the Lesbian and Gay Lawyers Association and Camden LGBT Forum will be hosting the final event in their series of events based around the International Day Against Homophobia. The event starts at 7 p.m. and will be held at Tooks Chambers.

The event is a fundraiser supporting international LGBT organisations working in Jamaica (J-FLAG), Latvia (Mozaika), Zimbabwe (GALZ) and Palestine (Aswat). There will also be a showing of Simon O'Corra's short film "Queer Fear: Gay Life, Gay Death in Iraq"

During the course of the evening, pictures from the Pansy Project exhibition will be auctioned. The Pansy Project is an ongoing web based installation by Paul Harfleet where pansies are planted and photographed in locations where homophobic incidents have occurred. Paul has taken the project to a range of locations from Manchester, New York, Margate, the South Bank and Camden. The exhibition at Tooks is the first time that pictures of the Pansy Project have been exhibited in a gallery setting.

Paul Harfleet's work is becoming increasingly well-known. He and his artists' space, Apartment, recently featured in an article in The Guardian.
