Join Liverpool Hope University for a free symposium. Diverse voices from arts, academia, and local communities will come together to imagine new ways of understanding, protecting, and celebrating our waterways.
The symposium will highlight several projects including the The Ecological Citizen's Project, which champions technologically appropriate interventions to nurture positive climate action.
Central to discussions on the day will be the Flow. Walk. Drag art-science-activism collaboration, led by Dr Annalaura Alifuoco with Natalie Beveridge, Hwa Young Jung, Rachel Seoighe, and Trude Sundberg. Flow.Walk.Drag combines drag performance with microbiology to illuminate hidden water histories.
The symposium will also address key themes in our current exhibition, The Plant that Stowed Away and explore how artistic expression can serve as a catalyst for environmental awareness and social change.
