Echoes and Origins
This programme is part of Echoes and Origins, the Bluecoat’s heritage participation project funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It explores the intersection of two historical narratives, the building’s looked after children and Liverpool’s colonial legacies, and their contemporary echoes.
