SUMMARY:Art in Windows: Art in Windows: #LearnFromBixtethGardens
DESCRIPTION:#LearnFromBixtethGardens\n\nBy Victoria Hyam\n\nDates: 19 Septe
 mber - 29 October\, 2020\nLocation: 5 Bold Place\, Liverpool\, L1 9DN\nTim
 es: 24/7\n\n#LearnFromBixtethGardens is an installation by mixed-media art
 ist Victoria Hyam. It chronicles the battle by  local residents\, workers
  and environmentalists to save Bixteth Gardens\, the last green space with
 in Liverpool city centre’s business district. Despite their heroic effor
 ts\, Bixteth Gardens was eventually flattened to make room for a nine-stor
 ey office block and a hotel.\n\nThe #SaveBixtethGardens campaign brought t
 ogether members of the city centre community\, who valued and utilised thi
 s small peace-haven within the surrounding bustle. It united people of all
  political parties\, nationalities and economic backgrounds. Home to myria
 d wildlife\, such as rabbits\, birds\, bats\, bees and 52 mature trees\, t
 his park provided a space for all\, yet despite the letters of objection\,
  online petition and public demonstrations\, it could not be saved from de
 struction. A truly shocking situation at a time when a “Climate Emergenc
 y” was publicly declared by Liverpool city council and when the mental a
 nd physical health benefits of public green spaces is being acknowledged.\
 n\n#LearnFromBixtethGardens consists of embroidered photographic portraits
  of some of the campaigners involved\, large landscape photographs taken 6
  months after the battle was lost and embroidered Polaroids of Liverpool t
 own hall. It highlights the capitalist culture that looms over the decisio
 ns made by those in power\, whilst putting a face to those voices unheard 
 (or ignored) by the decision makers. Political is personal\, after all.
