Flow.Walk.Drag.Everyday 

From microbial drag spectacle to everyday ecological citizenship

Looking to co-host “pooling parties” in Liverpool & Margate. Spilling over to where communities pool together – resources, capacities, needs – experimenting with bacterial wisdom. 

Flowing into existing community venues – climate cafes, community centres, local gatherings – bringing microbial drag interventions, toolkits and pooling practices into spaces where people already are. Embedding radical generosity into the everyday.

  • E. coli’s Margate Tour – Act 4: Who is she?

    We’ve arrived. The last act of E. coli’s Margate Tour is out and it ends overlooking the Southern Water pumping station. Margate’s poo bungalow.

    From this viewpoint on Princes Walk, we ask the big questions. Who is responsible for all this shit – literally and figuratively? Who is E. coli, really? And what do we do now?

    This final act traces the privatisation of water in England, the billions paid to shareholders, the £90 million fine and what it didn’t change, and the citizen scientists and activists refusing to let it go. It’s a lot. And it ends with a decision that’s yours to make.

    Head over to Instagram @flow.walk.drag to cast your vote 🗳️, before midnight on 6th June! A lucky random winner will win some very special Flow.Walk.Drag E. coli merchandise. 

    Thank you so much for walking with us and with E. coli. We hope she leaves a lasting impression – though not in the way she usually does.

  • Let’s talk about Gender

    What is Gender? How have ideas about Gender changed over time? How does gender shape our day to day lives? How can we include everyone in complex and difficult conversations about gender? 

    Let’s have this conversation at the Walker Art Gallery during the Gender Stories exhibition (16 May 31 Aug 2026). As part of the show, there will be space for Gender Questions, a guided tour and panel discussion on the 11th June.

    Join a dynamic conversation featuring Dr Emma Spruce, Lecturer in the Politics of Gender, Sexuality and Identity at the University of Liverpool; Auntie Climax, drag artist, founder of Eat Me radical queer cabaret, and guide to Liverpool’s hidden histories through the Cholera Walking Tour; and Saeed Olayiwola, a wellbeing and growth consultant with SO Health and an equality, diversity, and inclusion specialist with the Anthony Walker Foundation.

  • E. coli’s Margate Tour – Act 3: The Tidal Poo(l)

    We’ve caught up with her. Act 3 of E. coli’s Margate Tour is out now – and we’ve arrived at the Walpole Tidal Pool.

    She’s been there a lot recently. The conditions are perfect for her. And now she wants to talk – to push back on the toxic gossip and tell us something important: that she didn’t create these conditions. Someone else did.

    Stay tuned for an unexpected phone call comes in from an old friend in Liverpool. We start to see a different side of E. coli…the side that lives in our guts doing beautiful, unglamorous work; the side that’s helped develop insulin; the side that might actually have more in common with us than we thought.

    Join us at Walpole Tidal Pool and subscribe to make sure you don’t miss next week’s finale.

  • E. coli’s Margate Tour – Act 2: Red Flags

    She’s left us a trail. Act 2 of E. coli’s Margate Tour is out now — and she has been busy.

    After making a sensational appearance at the Old Cliftonville Lido, E. coli takes off along the beach towards Walpole Tidal Pool, leaving a trail of red flags in the sand behind her. We follow, reading them as we go. What do they say? Let’s just say she’s not holding back.

    This act moves us along the beach from Newgate Gap to the Oval Steps, getting closer to the Walpole Tidal Pool — and closer to understanding what she actually gets up to in Margate’s water.

    If you’re joining us in person, pick up the tour at the Old Cliftonville Lido and follow the coastline east.

    Subscribe now so you don’t miss the next act!
