Encounters and gmproducts worked in South Liverpool as part of Capital of Cultures Four Corners project 07, a city-wide neighbourhood regeneration programme working with residents, cultural organisations and neighbourhood services. The project sought to examine the life of Liverpool’s communities by reflecting significant changes and upheaval, capturing memories, aspirations and supporting community cohesion through creative activity.

Using a rich blend of creative writing, visual arts, photography, digital images, film making and audio technology, five projects were developed that built on the life of the communities of Liverpool.

Encounters led on one of the projects, creating the Moey; a modified police pod transformed into a mobile shop that toured around the area for five weeks. Each week Encounters followed the same route around south Liverpool as determined by the Neighbourhood Management team. We placed ourselves at various stops (shopping areas, community centres, open spaces and streets) where we engaged passers by and groups in creative and interactive activities that have as their focus questions around the theme of neighbourhoods, neighbours and neighbourliness. The project culminated on European Neighbours Day 29 May 07 where the results of our tour were revealed and shared to a city wide audience.
