Dan Warner: Voices of the City

As part of LOOK/17 Liverpool International Photography Festival, Open Eye Gallery’s Research Curator Dan Warner asked people living and working in Liverpool about how the festival themes of urbanism and exchange had affected their personal lives.  What is it like to work in the Titanic Hotel, or to be a Chinese student in Liverpool?

The interviews are available to listen to here, with accompanying transcripts.

Charlotte Tsang
Charlotte, Open Eye Gallery’s Retail and Events Officer, reflects on how her own connections with Hong Kong shaped her choices of Open Eye Gallery archive shots in the show, ‘Reflections’. Charlotte’s memory of family in both Liverpool and Hong Kong inform an enlightening and personal interview in which Charlotte touches on the peculiarities of having a dual identity in two dynamic, and at times similar, cities.

Derek Man
Photographer and visual artist Derek Man reflects on the intricacies of housing in Hong Kong, as documented during his recent LOOK/17 assignment in the city. Aided by his contacts in the Society for Community Organisation, in this interview Derek delves further into the city’s overstretched housing market and the occasionally bizarre situations that this can create.

Yiwen 艺文
Yiwen, a Chinese postgraduate student and pictured in Yan Preston’s series on the contemporary Chinese community in Liverpool, explores the simultaneously refreshing and alienating social and cultural experience of Chinese students in the city and the university.

Vicki-Lee Walberg
A personal assistant in Liverpool’s Rum Warehouse and Titanic Hotel, Vicki reflects on the trials and tribulations of working in an old and historic building. Posing a distinctive set of challenges, the building also provides unique opportunities to create meaningful and distinctive spaces, suggesting that the very nature of the urban space around us plays a crucial function in our everyday lives.

Paul Jones

Using LOOK17’s Building the Civic exhibition as a point of departure, Paul Jones, senior lecturer in sociology, social policy and criminology at the University of Liverpool, discusses some of the most pressing issues facing the nature of democracy in our cities. As sites of capital and exchange, Paul explores the effects of private ownership of Liverpool’s regeneration flagships and the potential alternatives to the current system.
