Paul Harfleet

Paul Harfleet is an artist, illustrator writer and designer, he started The Pansy Project in 2005. He plants pansies at the site of homophobic abuse; he finds the nearest source of soil to where the incident occurred and generally without civic permission plants one unmarked pansy. The flower is then photographed in its location, entitled after the abuse and then posted on his website: www.thepansyproject.com.

In 2017 his first book 'Pansy Boy' was published by Barbican Press and was shortlisted for the Polari First First Book Prize in 2018. 

This channel shares documentation of his trips around the world and shares videos that promote Pansy Boy.
