Coming and Going was a two week programme of events which took place in Liverpool in November 2008. Investigating migration and cultural identity, Quarantine brought together artists, experts and ‘ordinary’ people from five cities on the edge: the port cities of Liverpool, Gdansk, Istanbul, Marseille and Naples, to develop a series of residencies and live events. The project looked at how the cultural cargo that people bring with them can influence the identity of the city, and vice-versa – how the hybrid character of the city might re-shape someone and affect how they choose to live.

Although the primary public manifestation of the project was in November, there's still plenty to see on the website, and more documentation will be added over the next few weeks.

Coming and Going was commissioned by Liverpool Culture Company Ltd and part-funded through the Cities on the Edge initiative as part of the 2008 European Capital of Culture programme.
