Overview
Liverpool Biennial returns from Sat 7 Jun – Sun 14 Sep 2025. Titled ‘BEDROCK', Liverpool Biennial 2025 is curated by Marie-Anne McQuay with Director Dr Samantha Lackey and the Liverpool Biennial Team.
‘BEDROCK’ draws on Liverpool’s distinctive geography and the beliefs which underpin the city. It is inspired by the sandstone which spans the city region and is found in its distinctive architecture. ‘BEDROCK’ also acts as a metaphor for the unique social foundations of Liverpool, haunted by empire, and the people, places and values that ground us.
Taking over historic buildings, unexpected spaces and art galleries, Liverpool Biennial - the UK’s largest free festival of contemporary visual art - has been transforming the city through art for over two decades. A dynamic programme of free exhibitions, performances, community and learning activities, and fringe events unfolds over 14 weeks, shining a light on the city’s vibrant cultural scene.
The artists at Bluecoat bring insights into the family, chosen family and cultural
heritage that they carry with them, and which grounds them.
