Talking Pictures: Every picture tells a story’ was a 6-week adult engagement pilot project for refugees and asylum seekers in Liverpool. It was developed to enable links between refugees and asylum seekers living in Liverpool with our staff and visitors. Its aim was to improve their confidence and self-esteem, helping to reduce the isolation they face by developing new skills and widening their networks.
Throughout the project the group acquired the tools to interpret the artworks through exercises, talks and creative workshops. Group members identified 1-2 artworks in the gallery that resonated with them, and gained confidence to speak about their selected artworks, positioning themselves as guides. The project culminated in a gallery talk delivered in English and/or their own language, to members of the public and an invited audience.
