Abstract
This exhibition is about the physical environment and everyday life in Toxteth. It aims to enhance our understanding
of the way urban dwellers, both locals (L) and migrants (M),experience belongingness to urban space, and the
effect that aesthetics have on this dynamic. The exhibition as a whole celebrates the particularity of Toxteth as a
locality, its key features in terms of human-spatial relations, and some of its distinct landmarks. The photos, quotes
and captions derive from a British Academy funded project titled Bringing the aesthetics in: migrants’ relationship
with urban space in Toxteth. Fieldwork for this project took place in 2015 (June-November) and generated a
substantial amount of visual material in the form of photos taken by both participants and the research team. The
exhibition was prepared as part of Festival 31 and Refugee Week (June-July 2016) in Liverpool, with a focus on
diversity and refugees in the city.
