The OUT-POST programme started with the Shrinking Cities
exhibition at the Site Gallery and Renew Rooms in November 2007. The exhibition
is extended beyond the gallery space to the inner
city neighbourhoods and spaces that have become the focus of the global
discourse on Shrinking Cities. The OUT-POST will travel between three
Toxteth neighbourhoods to display information and become a canvas for
the collection of stories from those areas.

Liverpool schools explore stories of migration, old and new, and learn
about the people who have shaped and continue to shape Liverpool.
Kensington Infant School, Year 2
Forty-nine children in one-year group from twenty different countries,
the world has become a smaller place and each child has the opportunity
to learn about different cultures both in the classroom and in the playground.
Broadgreen High School, Pedro and Faith
Two young people who have arrived in Liverpool from Angola and Kenya explore
their stories and their feelings about arriving in a city they now call
‘home’.
St. Anne’s Stanley Church of England Primary School,
John Arne Riise
Sacrifice and dedication has seen John Arne Riise achieve his dream of
playing for Liverpool. The modern professional footballer may clock up
many air miles during his career. An ‘animated’ John Arne
Riise tells us his tale.
Broadgreen Primary School, Nick and Linman
From different generations, arriving at different times, Nick and Linman
came to Liverpool from Hong Kong and China. They share their experiences.
Kensington Junior School, 1847
The Irish famine saw thousands of men, women and children arrive in Liverpool.
For many it was a short stay as they travelled to the ‘new world’.
Their stories are not forgotten; their voices can still be heard.

So
have you always lived in Toxteth? Have you always lived around here?
No I was born west of Abbey Road and now I live by Malgrove Street.And
have you seen this area change much? Oh yeah! You know when they
knocked down the old houses and built new it all changed. And then there
is hardly any shops around so you have to go to the supermarkets.
I was just
saying that in my country. I come from Kongo. It was Zaire before but
now it is the Democratic Republic of Kongo. And we used to take the cow
shit and put it in a barbecue. Take a good smell. If you want to taste
your barbecue. That’s all.
I would use
the land for growing vegetables or have a few chickens or goats. Because
that is what I like. I’m from the country. I’m from Jamaica
and I’m brought up in the country.
