POST Liverpool

Amanda Oliphant — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 00:46:07 +0000

Amanda continues the cultural exchange with POST, a collective of seven female artists who emerged from Liverpool’s European Capital of Culture in 2008. The name POST signifies our desire to ‘send out’ cultural messages whilst continuing our professional development, practice and legacy in terms of international dialogue as initiated through the Liverpool International Artists exhibition. The intention of the group is to link with female artists who live and work in other cities around the world which have been crowned European Capital of Culture, sharing experiences and expanding our critical language within the arts.

POST aims to nurture links by leading programmes with a supportive and inclusive approach that encourages dynamic and imaginative collaborations reaching new European audiences. POST are committed to transcending national boundaries in the hope of exploring the role of women in the culturally diverse context of Europe. In 2010 POST successfully exchanged with Austrian artists in Linz Austria and in 2012 the project continues in Istanbul Turkey-See Links.
