As part of Eurovision, Luke Jerram has brought their ‘Floating Earth’ installation to the Royal Albert Dock in Liverpool.

Turn The Light On, It’s Dark In Here by artist Camille Walala
As part of 2022’s ‘River of Light’ festival that took place in Liverpool, artist Camille Walala created a stunning installation at the Royal Albert Dock outside the Martin Luther King Building.
