Publicity information for Liverpool: A Tale of Two Cities

Project Summary

"Liverpool: A Tale of Two Cities" exhibition features photographs, memorabilia, uniforms, video footages, letters, crests, artefacts that depict the history and culture of two cities that share the same name. The idea of the exhibition came from the Liverpool City Council’s Administrator Gabrielle Kibble after her private trip to England. The exhibition show cases the similarities and differences of the cultures, peoples, landmarks, local characters and aims to give the general public of both cities a glimpse into the culture, ways of life of their counterpart. The exhibition also provides an opportunity for the Library and its sister city to work together to strengthen the relationship as the result the British Consul-General of Sydney Tim Holmes had paid a visit to the Library to view the exhibition. In September the exhibition will be displayed in the Liverpool City Library and Information Services in the UK.

    "Cities must trade in cultural cringe for a growing sense of confidence in our distinctiveness. They must try to be somewhere, not anywhere in the extended global sprawl of electronic suburbia. Cities must wilfully believe that the unique combination of events that may fuse here is just as compelling as those that may fuse somewhere else. Cities need to involve their people in making and remaking their own mythology, and create something that is truly unique." Marcus Westbury
