Four Corners, Bluecoat, Liverpool In 2009 I was invited to programme and co-devise the Four Corners exhibition and events at the Bluecoat, Liverpool working with Ruth Ben-Tovim from Encounters Arts as well as working on exhibition and graphic design elements with Jo Salter. Four Corners is a city-wide community project involving 6 different communities and five different arts organsiations (The Bluecoat, Everyman Playhouse, ICDC Liverpool John Moores University, Arts in Regeneration and Encounters Arts). The projects were themed around Liverpool's 'Year of the Environment'. As a culmination and celebration of these projects across the city, we programmed a week of exhibitions, performances, exchanges, discussions and films exploring environmental and ecological themes at Bluecoat, Liverpool in July 09. This included the co-creation of Dr Carbon (see Climate Change strand for more info) and the Eco Fools to animate the event as well as two days of reskilling workshops and a world cafe event.
