Peeling Back the Story of Liverpool’s Superlambanana
Hidden MerseysideAvailable for over a year
Local historian Peter Lang joins us to uncover the hidden story behind Liverpool’s iconic Superlambanana. More than just a quirky sculpture, the hybrid lamb-and-banana design reflects the city’s rich trading history, from its links to the wool industry to being the first UK port to import bananas, while also playfully nodding to modern ideas about genetic engineering and creativity in public art.
