Booking essential — Free
Since 2019, our Learning team has collaborated with artists Melanie Crean, Katrina Palmer, Ain Bailey, and Amartey Golding on Resolution, a multi-year art and research project in prisons across Liverpool, Rochdale, and York. Incarcerated people and their families, prison staff, and key decision-makers were invited to take part in the project.
The collaborations culminated in the commissioning of four new artworks, presented to the public through a series of exhibitions at FACT in 2024 and 2025. Amartey Golding’s work, on display in Gallery 2 from 22 May, marks the conclusion of this long-term programme. Discover more about Resolution →

Discussions will focus on access, cross-sector collaboration, approaches, and support systems.
