Exhibition finds a home at St George's Hall

Themes around migration, displacement and transition are explored in a new exhibition at St George’s Hall.

Liverpool art collective Home and Away Workshops' exhibition runs until May 31 in the historic landmark’s heritage centre foyer.

Home and Away presents works that offer multiple interpretations of home, not as a fixed location, but as something embodied, remembered, imagined - and continually re-made.

It features a diverse range of mixed-media work from a variety of artists based in the Liverpool City Region and who originally hail from places like the Philippines, Argentina, Ireland, Poland, Venezuela and Spain and whose practices are shaped by considerations of migration, mixed heritage and multiple cultures.

They include Karema Munassar, Dina Rončević, Annabel Petit Alvarado, Sandra Mutukwa, Bilqis Shakil, Mai Sanchez, Mariana Sequera, Ariana Basciani and Elizabeth Longwill.

The pieces on show are the result of several co‑creation workshops, supported by the Arts Council and held at St George’s Hall and online over the past few months with people who have experienced displacement. Participants also led workshops.

And visitors to the exhibition are invited to reflect on their own understandings of home and displacement, and to consider how personal histories intersect with wider social and political narratives.

Meanwhile Sandra Mutukwa's risograph prints are on sale, priced at £15, with proceeds going to local refugee charities. Scan a QR code next to the artwork to order copies.

Home and Away is at St George’s Hall until May 31.
