The LGBTQ+ Queen Bee
Created by: CJTaylor Art
and Ben Sedman Photography

This artwork is a symbol of Manchester's LGBTQ+ Pride. Iconic street
names and famous landmarks tell the story of this Queen Bee's new
home at the heart of the Village. The poignancy of Alan Turing's life
and legacy is mirrored in the eyes of this beautiful sculpture. It inspires
us to accept, embrace and celebrate life in all its glorious forms.
The ultimate message is #LoveIsLove.

Sculptor
