About the project

FOUR WORDS: WIRRAL

This is an Arts Council of England funded community art project launched as part of Liverpool Independents Biennial 2021.

It was dreamt up by Dr Alan Dunn to celebrate some hidden narratives around three Liverpool City Region locations near where he lives on the Wirral peninsula – Spital, New Ferry and Port Sunlight. He invited artists to research the areas, chatted with locals and edited stories down to FOUR WORDS that encourage us all to look beyond the surfaces.

For photos of the project in development and to see other people's screengrabs, see #fourwordswirral on social media and visit : www.alandunn67.co.uk/fourwordswirral.html
