Press Room Podcast

Turner Prize-nominated artist Ciara Phillips invited people from across Liverpool to take part in Press Room, a participatory project using the daily newspapers and online sources. Throughout March, we created a day-by-day record of press coverage leading up to 29th March, the date (initially) set for Britain to exit Europe. 

A dedicated room in the library became a creative space for daily observations, cutting, pasting, scanning and copying a wide range of news material. Each day, a large, printed page was created and displayed for visitors,  documenting the month of news ‘as-it-happened’ by the people and communities involved will be printed as a record for Crosby Library.
