“It’s challenging, you can’t help but notice him when you enter the room. He’s in an environment he would otherwise be excluded from.” (Artist, Zak Ove) A great read on Carving Out Truths, a must-see community-led intervention @walkergallery 👇🏾✨ theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

Did you know that the American Civil War actually ended in Liverpool? On this day in 1865 the last Confederate warship CSS Shenandoah surrendered in the Mersey, bringing the war to close. Read more about Liverpool's links to the war here 👇liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/american-civil… #OTD #OnThisDay

@AlexSPatterson from @walkergallery @NML_Muse on #ColonialLegacies of the Liverpool Sandbach family. Their portraits in the gallery were re-interpreted by young local people aged 18-24 to tackle the issue of the Sandbachs' wealth and power built on slavery.
