Berry Street Chinatown

The Chinatown Working Group took a walk around Berry Street Duke Street Nelson Street and Seel Street and discussed ways to beautify derelict, rundown and abandoned buildings in time for International Festival of Business IFB in June. Working with Kenny Brew and Wesley Hartless Liverpool City Council, The Sound Agents contacted owners and together came up with ideas to enhance the buildings to improve the area. Mr Chung of The China Palace agreed to the idea of turning his restaurant in to a Pop Up Photography Gallery

The Sound Agents promote public understanding and access to communities by recording the personal and everyday experience of Liverpool life.

The purpose of the organisation is to work inclusively with people from under-represented communities to provide opportunities to share stories using the Arts as a tool for communication.

Working outside the structure to bring together older people to pass their skills on to the younger generation by working creatively to share talents, experience and enthusiasm to bring people together to improve health and well-being and create opportunities for young people to get involved in Socially Engaged practice.
