Liverpool art collective Home and Away Workshops has announced a new exhibition of work at St George’s Hall.
The showcase launches on 6 May 2026, with an opening event between 5 pm and 7 pm.
Entry is free with an RSVP ticket, and the exhibition will remain open to the public until 31 May 2026.
Home and Away brings together a collective of artists whose lives have been shaped by experiences of displacement, migration, and transition.
The work on display has been developed through a series of co-creation workshops supported by Arts Council England, hosted both at St George’s Hall and online.
The exhibition features a diverse array of mixed-media works by artists from the Philippines, Argentina, Ireland, Poland, Venezuela, and Barcelona.
Featured contributors include Karema Munassar, Dina Roncevic, Annabel Petit Alvarado, Sandra Mutukwa, Bilqis Shakil, Mai Sanchez, Mariana Sequera, Ariana Basciani, and Elizabeth Longwill.
Co-creation and Shared Narratives
Over recent months, the group’s workshops provided a space for conversation, reflection, and artistic production.
Participants shared personal stories and memories surrounding the concept of home, exploring what it means, how it feels, and how its definition can shift across time and place.
The group utilised a range of media and approaches, supporting one another to explore materials and methods that reflected their individual and collective experiences.
The structure of these sessions encouraged collective learning; participants acted as both makers and facilitators, devising and leading sessions for one another.
Exploring Home and Identity
The final exhibition presents works that offer multiple interpretations of home, viewing it not as a fixed location, but as something embodied, remembered, and continually re-made.
These pieces connect the concept of home to the body, the environment, and the places individuals have left behind.
Visitors are invited to reflect on their own understandings of displacement and consider how personal histories intersect with wider social and political narratives.
By housing the work within St George’s Hall, an institution deeply embedded in the city’s history, the exhibition creates a dialogue between personal stories and public space.
The project has received support from Arts Council England and St George’s Hall, marking a significant addition to the city’s cultural calendar this May.
