THE founder of an LGBT+ campaign group features in a new exhibition in a photograph taken at a Bradford City match played at Wembley Stadium.

Lindsay England, the Just A Ball Game founder, features in the You Heard Us art installations in Bradford.

The project created by Luca Rutherford in partnership with Theatre in the Mill and Bradford University, uses images of women who either live, work or who were born/brought up in Bradford, on billboards created from portraits taken by district photographer Nudrat Afza.

Lindsay, a lifelong Bradford City fan, features in an image that was taken at the 2017 League One play-off final which the Bantams lost 1-0 to Millwall.

Bradford Telegraph and Argus: Lindsay England’s quote that features along with the photography is: “Today’s LGBT inclusion and visibility is tomorrow’s LGBT history.”Lindsay England’s quote that features along with the photography is: “Today’s LGBT inclusion and visibility is tomorrow’s LGBT history.”

She said: “It was a little strange being asked permission to have your portrait used on a three-metre billboard in the city centre, but I’m warming to the idea.

“Too often in today’s world, being portrayed as a feminist can be seen as a negative when sadly people think all equalities and equal rights have been won and with this key messages and achievements can be lost.

“The ‘You Heard Us’ art works showcase dignity and strength to the featured women and bring them into a correct perspective.”
