Created by artist Lucy Hayhoe, One In, One Out: Leeds’ Smallest Gay Bar is a playful installation for an audience of one.

The intimate and interactive artwork explores the role of the gay bar in contemporary queer culture. Reflecting on a year that has affected the way we all socialise and meet, the work examines the existence of queer spaces and the place they occupy within our cities.

Lucy Hayhoe is a live artist making installation-based experiences and performances. Her work ranges from intimate encounters to large-scale installations.

One In, One Out: Leeds’ Smallest Gay Bar is happening as part of Compass Festival 2021.
