Culture Vultures 25.02.21

Hello Everybody!


On February 26 it’s National 'Tell a Fairy Story Day' - there’s a few I like including some updated tales written by artists at Fact in Liverpool with a slight twist to the story.


This weeks question for the chat : If you could change any fairy tale, what would it be?


It’s also Global 'Scouse day' on the 28th February, so an extra question for this week is:

How do you serve your scouse, do you have any family traditions or recipe additions?


Head over to the chat page and get involved on the brolly café .

This weeks suggestions:


The British Museum and Artist's from Iran to Morocco

To celebrate LGBT+ history month, CAHR has invited three of its former visiting human rights defender fellows to reflect on what defending LGBT+ rights looks like in the time of a global pandemic. We will hear from a current London-based LGBT+ funder and two Kenyan grassroots LGBT+ human rights defenders on global and local perspectives to LGBT+ defense.

Art UK and the Chinese Zodiac


Art of London with a minute viewing on Waterhouse’s A Mermaid


A Mid Summers Night Dream by the Handlebards

Cycling Shakespearean actors who carry all their props, set and costumes on the back of their bikes. They perform extremely energetically they are charming, chaotic and environmentally sustainable. With theatre performed anywhere, theatres, gardens and even bicycle shops.
