A conversation between Lindsey Ashworth (Development Director, Peel Group), Claire McColgan (Assistant Director Culture and Tourism, Liverpool City Council), Francesco Manacorda (Artistic Director, Tate Liverpool) and Andrea Phillips (Reader in Fine Art, Goldsmiths) at the Future City Forum, 27 September 2013 in Liverpool.

This discussion explores the role culture plays in the city of Liverpool, historically and at present, and questions the terms that we use to speak and think about urban transformation and investment. What agendas are at play and how do they inform or contradict each other?

Part of Future City, a collaborative project between Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art and Liverpool Biennial for Qatar UK 2013 Year of Culture.
