The Liverpool Biennial has appointed Lucía Sanromán and Aimee Harrison as Co-curators for its 2027 edition. Sanromán, Chief Curator at Mexico City's MUAC, brings an international perspective on socially engaged art, while Harrison, a long-time Biennial staffer, provides deep local knowledge and experience in community-focused projects. The festival will run from June 5 to September 12, 2027, utilizing historic buildings, galleries, and unexpected spaces across the city.
This appointment signals a strong commitment to the Biennial's legacy of place-based, socially engaged art at a critical moment. The co-curation model explicitly blends international vision with authentic local understanding, aiming to create a festival grounded in community experiences—particularly those of children and young people—while navigating contemporary challenges to collective values. It reinforces the Biennial's role as a major platform for civic-led art practice in the UK and globally.
