She will then be joined by Emma Curd and Maggi e Matic\, Artistic Directors at The Royal Standard\, to discuss her ongoin g collaborative relationship with TRS and Liverpool's communities more wid ely.\n\nThis event is free and no booking is required. The event will take place in the Tate Exchange space in the first floor gallery at Tate Liver pool.\n\nArtist Bio:\n\nLiv Wynter is a queer working class female artist working and living in south london. Through her anarchic and punk explorat ion of language\, rap and poetry\, Liv uses sharp wit and home truths team ed with uncompromising honesty to create discussions around class\, sexual ity\, gender\, recovery from violent relationships and rebuilding yourself post trauma. Liv’s work is socially and politically demanding\, and her practice sets her far apart from others using text based work due its rel entless and unapologetic demand to be acknowledged. Liv’s ability to wea r her heart on her sleeve and leave her metaphors at the door means her wo rk is extremely accessible. This allows her to move from established art i nstitutions to youth clubs\,community centers\, to protests with ease but also raw conviction. Liv uses emotive language without fear and embraces i deas of hysteria as a subversive way to tackle capitalist and patriarchal ideas of how women should behave.\n\nLiv’s driving force is creating com munity and using art practice to empower and energise marginalised groups\ , particularly young working class people and people dealing with trauma s urrounding sexual violence. Her practice takes on many forms\, and althoug h it is rooted in performance\, she considers skill sharing and workshops to be a vital part of ensuring the performances have a long lasting and pr ogressive after effect. Her work is as much about the communities that ama lgamate together around it as it is about the actual thing - be it a poem\ , a workshop or a political occupation. Due to outreach being such an impo rtant part of Liv’s work\, she is often trying to question how we can br ing into the gallery those that feel excluded from it. Liv believes the ga llery should be an active community space. Liv’s involvement with politi cal organisations and voluntary community projects further demonstrate her dedication to making sure she is putting into practice the things she pre aches ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artinliverpool.com/wp-content/upload s/2016/06/trs-liv-wynter.jpg LOCATION:Tate Liverpool\, Albert Dock\, Liverpool\, L3 4BB\, Liverpool\, Un ited Kingdom GEO:53.4003;-2.9927 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Albert Dock\, Liverpool\, L 3 4BB\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Tate Liverpo ol:geo:53.4003,-2.9927 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:Europe/London X-LIC-LOCATION:Europe/London BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20161030T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:+0100 TZOFFSETTO:+0000 TZNAME:GMT END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
