Jelly Mould Pavilions
27 March 2010 - 6 June 2010
Sudley House will be the starting point for a city-wide trail of jelly mould pavilion models by artist Lubaina Himid. Lubaina’s project questions how we commemorate people of the African diaspora and their contribution to the city of Liverpool. The jelly moulds are possible designs for public monuments to celebrate laughter, togetherness, international trade and exchange.
This exhibition is part of 'Liverpool and the Black Atlantic', a city-wide series of exhibitions and events.
