The Street, the city, the world

In the context of a dramatically changing city, FACT has turned to its immediate location as a site through which to investigate the past, the present and the potential of the future. With traces of Liverpool’s whole social and economic history mapped onto it, Bold Street is a site of internationalism and independent trade where corporate prosperity resides hand-in-hand with personal poverty.

Developing work on our doorstep is not parochialism. It embraces the level at which we are physically located as a starting point for making work. BOLD will see us working with communities across Liverpool and worldwide to explore the social and economic relationships that drive our lives in a globally networked world.

This three-year project marks FACT’s continued commitment to finding new and meaningful ways for artists to work collaboratively with communities of interest.
