Levi Tafari ‘Liverpool The Daughter of Merseyside’
Levi Tafari is a crucial, rhythmic, poetic, consciousness raiser and urban griot. Levi was born and raised in the city of Liverpool by his Jamaican parents. This gave Levi access to two cultures. In his teenage years, he became known for being a sharp, lyrical observer as he regularly verbalised on the many sound systems in and around his hometown. He has also written a number of plays which have been performed at Liverpool's Unity, Everyman and Playhouse Theatres as well as at the Blackheath Theatre in Stafford. Aside from this, Tafari also works in education: running creative writing workshops in prisons, schools and universities.

Peter Dench ‘The Last Resort Revisited’
UK based photographer Peter Dench works primarily in the editorial, portraiture and advertising fields of image making. A keen and astute observer of human nature, in particular some of the more quirky aspects of life, his distinctive style, predominantly in colour, has guaranteed regular
commissions from a range of respected national and international clients.

Mark McNulty ‘Eight Hundred’
Mark McNulty has been documenting the people, music and culture of Liverpool for over 35
years and these photographs were taken for a project called ‘Eight Hundred’. The portraits were
made on a single day in 2007, the occasion of Liverpool’s 800th birthday, and the project
involved 8 photographers each photographing 100 people across 24 hours.
