Eurovision Liverpool Be Bold

Mariana Potetenko fled her home in Kyiv in June last year with her two daughters and the family dog to begin a new life in Liverpool.

An artist who came to Liverpool after escaping the war in Ukraine has told how a Combined Authority-funded course led to her Eurovision design being featured on a landmark city centre building.

After studying a digital design-themed Skills Bootcamp, funded by Mayor Steve Rotheram and the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, she answered a call-out to artists for Eurovision-themed shop window art with an image featuring the 2022 winners Kalush Orchestra and UK runner-up Sam Ryder.
