Liverpool Workshop 30/9/2010

Matti — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 11:41:33 +0000

The Liverpool workshop started with getting to know each other and with a brief explanation of the Giants project. During the day we had some interesting and fruitful discussions on stereotypes of Liverpool and Liverpudlians (or Scousers). There were also two people from Chester participating and this widened the talk to also include stereotypes of the North West of England.

The day ended with a short walk around the neighborhood. The participants introduced some sites that they considered personally interesting. We also took some photos as material for building the Giant characters of Liverpool.

The Giants visited Kontula neighborhood in Helsinki as part of the ‘Night of the Arts’ programme last Friday. We had a good time with lots of kids waiting for their turn to dance the Giant. Thanks to all the Kontula people and especially those who helped us organise the event!
