FOUR WORDS: WIRRAL
FOUR WORDS: WIRRAL is a continuation of Alan Dunn’s series that began on the Liverpool Media Wall working with Metal in 2016. This new iteration celebrates some hidden narratives around Spital, New Ferry and Port Sunlight near where Dunn lives on Wirral. He invited artists Malik Al Nasir, Singh Twins, Steve & Phaedra Hardstaff and Joseph Cotgrave to research the areas, chat with dog walkers and community activists and edit tales of Batman, A Clockwork Orange, teabags and the Beach Boys down to FOUR WORDS. Funded by Arts Council England, FOUR WORDS: WIRRAL will be brought to life through a new free Augmented Reality phone app designed by Field that will encourage us all to look beyond the surfaces.
