Remember How Boss It Was (2021) consists of a series of outdoor graphic and audio-visual works and is available to see and enjoy from 21 October 2021.Having lived in Liverpool her whole life, Dolan’s project involves encounters of ‘Scouse-ness’, spread across 8 key sites in Liverpool’s Commercial District. Dolan’s bold graphic text works, each accompanied by an episode of a humorous and conversational video accessed by QR codes, can be discovered on streets, walls and windows of buildings along a set route.For Dolan, the scouse accent and dialect connect the people of Liverpool to the city. The accent forms part of Liverpudlian identity alongside the historic and modern city, together forming a particular and unique identity.The public will be able to engage with Dolan’s work until 21 November 2021, with a programme of artist-led tours and a free family activity sheet available for half term. A map of all locations is available to pick up from businesses in the area or to view online. Both map and family activity pack have been designed by local artist Gabriella Hernandez.More information can be found at <a href="https://www.liverpoolbidcompany.com/art-in-motion/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Liverpoolartinmotion.com</a><h3>About Liverpool Biennial</h3>Liverpool Biennial is the largest and longest-running festival of contemporary visual art in the UK.
