Four Corners
An exhibition for the people, by the people.
21 - 26 July 2010 – The Bluecoat, Liverpool, UK
Four Corners 2010 is a groundbreaking participatory arts project which continues to push boundaries and open up new ways of seeing across our neighbourhoods.
Now in its 5th year, it is Culture Liverpool’s major city wide participation programme which seeks to examine the quality of life of Liverpool’s communities. Through an artistic process which incorporates creative writing, design, visual arts, performance, film and many other creative mediums, Four Corners helps people to reflect on significant changes occurring across the city and in their neighbourhood. Four Corners is also about promoting community cohesion and upholding positive messages about the city and its people. By working alongside Neighbourhood Management Services, Cultural Organisations and this year’s new partner the Liverpool Primary Care Trust to address key health priorities in the year of Health and Wellbeing, Four Corners challenges the impact of the arts as a form of communication and expression.
