Mapping the City
Between 09 April 2009 and 27 April 2009, in Liverpool
The people of Liverpool are being asked to play a part in creating a special work of art to celebrate the legacy of the city's year as European Capital of Culture.
Highlighting Liverpool's local, national and global significance, international glasswork artists Inge Panneels and Jeffrey Sarmiento have been commissioned to create the Liverpool Map, researched and developed in conjunction with the people of Merseyside to go on display in the new Museum of Liverpool when it opens in 2010.
To uphold the map's close association with residents, the artists are including a community layer in their design, giving people the chance to add their own personal touch to the unique artwork which uses pioneering techniques to create a large multi-layered glass monolith.
People are invited to attend the Liverpool Map Handwriting Sessions, which will be held on Tuesday 14 April at Merseyside Maritime Museum from 1 - 4pm and Friday 24 April from 10am - 5pm at BBC Radio Merseyside. They will be asked to write creatively about Merseyside places that mean something to them, and copy out extracts of the Liverpool Saga poem; an 800 line poem written by people from Merseyside to celebrate Liverpool's 800th birthday in 2007.
