Documentation as of May 5, 2018 by UNITED for Intercultural Action

Co-produced by Chisenhale Gallery, London and Liverpool Biennial, the updated version of The List was printed and distributed by The Guardian in a print run of 210,000 on World Refugee Day, 20 June 2018. Free of charge copies of the newspaper with the 64-page supplement were available at Chisenhale Gallery (28 June–26 August 2018) and Liverpool Biennial (14 July–28 October 2018).
On July 12, in collaboration with Liverpool Biennial, The List was installed on a 280m hoarding on Great George Street, Liverpool. Shortly after its installation, it was repeatedly damaged, removed and targeted. Followed by a joint statement (Banu Cennetoglu, Geert Ates/ UNITED for Intercultural Action and Liverpool Biennial) the decision was made to leave it in its “current” state as a manifestation and reminder of this systematic violence exercised against people.
