As RIBA North’s Home Ground: The Architecture of Football display kicks off, we invite you to join Tate collection artist, Neville Gabie and Liverpool photographer Emma Case, as they discuss art, sport and the spaces we create for play.
You'll learn about Gabie's residency at Tate Liverpool at the turn of the millennium. and we'll look back on his subsequent work in Liverpool and his reflections on the city today.
Gabie will discuss his ongoing archive, Grassroots and Tarmac, which explores diverse cultures by way of their shared obsession for football and reflect on his time as artist in residence at the 2012 London Olympics.
Case will discuss RED, a community archive project that she founded which shares Liverpool fan’s photos and stories. You'll discover what’s next for The RED Caravan – the mini museum she designed to share those stories.
