Visit our Second Floor Gallery for Liverpool Biennial’s summer long programme of free workshops for children and families.
Bring the family and get creative this summer with free weekly workshops from Liverpool Biennial, based on a project by conceptual artist Stine Marie Jacobsen.
You'll also be able to watch a new film, created by Jacobsen with children from St Anne's Catholic Primary School. The film, 'Future, Before it Happens', focuses on the wellbeing of young people in relation to the climate crisis.
Drop-in workshops will take place from 12-4pm on the following dates: Sun 21 July, Sat 27 July, Sat 3 Aug, Sat 10 Aug, Sat 17 Aug, Sat 24 Aug. Full details can be found below.
This series of workshops is kindly supported by SEVENSTORE.
Family Day #1 | Sun 21 Jul, 12pm - 4pm
In this workshop children and their adults can try out some of the creative activities that were used to make ‘Future, Before It Happens’, including writing postcards to/from the future, building futuristic objects, and creating group drawings of what the future might look like.
Family Day #2 | Sat 27 Jul, 12pm - 4pm
Liverpool Biennial will be hosting a drawing, collaging and AI workshop all about climate. Join us to generate imaginative ideas to combat climate change and create ‘Story Clouds’ where your mind is a river – or a stream!

Family Day #5 | Sat 17 Aug, 12pm - 5pm
For this event, artist Saffron Lily will be hosting an origami workshop thinking about how we perceive hope, change and agency in a world that breeds climate doom-ism, taking inspiration from a childhood fortune-telling game, shared nostalgia and collaborative play.
Family Day #6 | Sat 24 Aug, 12pm - 4pm
What does your version of time look like? How does it sound or behave? Liverpool Biennial will be delivering a workshop all about creating time-changing objects – is your object for the future going to be angry, funny, excited, hopeful, or radical? Join us to become time explorers!
