VR: L— A City Through Its People
5 November - 7 March 2020
L— A City Through Its People brings together three distinct exhibitions, the combined archives of which cover a time period of Liverpool from the 1950s to the present day. Spanning evolutions in industry, society, and leisure at a time of rapid change and challenge, they share unique approaches and perspectives in telling a story about Liverpool, its people, and the ideals that lend the city charm and a distinct personality.
In this virtual reality version of the exhibition, explore the archives and watch exclusive videos providing further context to the rich history of Liverpool and the communities who shape and document this city. Click here to view.
RED by Emma Case introduces us to the pride and glory of being part of the Liverpool football family, featuring portraits, images, interviews and original memorabilia donated by the football fans, expressing their generosity and spirit.
Scottie Press, Britain’s longest running community newspaper and champion of people’s voices, displays an archive of original photographs donated by local residents or photographed by Scottie Press photographers. Scottie Press will celebrate its 50th anniversary in February 2021, and this display follows Liverpool through the ages, observing the city through the lens of visual activism and grassroots journalism.
Tell It Like It Is is a collaborative project between photographer Ian Clegg and writer Laura Robertson. The image-text relationship ruminates on the shifting nature of the city, consisting of photographs that remained as negatives for forty years, introducing a collaborative perspective on the city from two Liverpool residents and creative practitioners.
