Issue one of Stages, Future City, presents insights, propositions and interventions produced during a year-long partnership between Liverpool Biennial and Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art.

Stages is Liverpool Biennial’s online journal. Each issue shifts its editorial attention in relation to the concerns of the biennial’s programme and its work to embed itself in the urban context of Liverpool.

Issue one of Stages presents insights, propositions and interventions produced during a year-long partnership between Liverpool Biennial and Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art. It follows Future City, a two-part forum that took place in Liverpool in September 2013 and Doha in December 2013. These forums invited a diverse range of contributors to commentate and speculate on significant changes occurring in urban centres globally.
