Superlambananas Make a Starring Appearance

A flock of Superlambananas made a guest appearance at a VIP gala dinner at Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral for the opening weekend of Liverpool Capital of Culture.

Go Superlambanana Preview Sculpture

Go Superlambananas have unveiled a preview sculpture at Fazakerley Hospital. Painted with images of deadly bacteria that refer to the hospital’s history as a centre for treating infectious diseases, the sculpture is part of a wider celebration of the hospital’s history, funded by the Heritage Lottery.

The sculpture was created by artist Vik, who is part of Liverpool Biennial’s pool of artists and educators. She worked with local school children to evolve the designs which highlight the fascinating beauty of the microbes that caused some of the most horrific diseases in human history.
