As part of Liverpool Biennial 2005, the UK's largest free contemporary art festival, three artists explore the complex and often conflicting connections between people and the environment, highlighting both healing and extractive relationships. Their work links Liverpool’s urban and natural surroundings with local and global histories of colonial trade.

Kara Chin’s interactive installation draws on Manga-inspired visuals and city motifs like seagulls and Buddleia, expressing themes of grief and nuisance. DARCH collaborates with Sefton residents on a ceramic and sound piece rooted in Merseyside’s land and spirit. Linda Lamignan’s film reflects on human treatment of nature, referencing animism, geology, and Nigeria’s palm oil and petroleum trades with Liverpool.
