City of Light in Sefton Park brings not one, but two public art events to Sefton Park, illuminating the dark nights this February half-term (20-24). City of Light, City of Sanctuary is a magical floating city of lanterns on the park’s boating lake, and ‘Habitats’ - a trail featuring glowing animals and incredible plants in the Palm House gardens.
This spectacular floating city of lantern buildings will be brought to life by an epic soundscape of original music, poetry and real-life stories, and will bring Liverpool communities, international artists and generations together through a breathtaking blend of community creativity, architectural artworks and family participation.
Using the simplest materials of paper, sticks and stories, City of Light, City of Sanctuary will be an inspirational public space for reflection on local and global experiences of migration, home and belonging - issues affecting many people and communities across the world today. City of Light, City of Sanctuary is free to attend, and will take place in the beautiful setting of the park’s boating lake from February 21-24 (5-9pm).
