FACT’s 2026 programme constitutes a specifically Liverpudlian civic public as its knowledge-producing subject. Can Meeple Escape the Neurophoria? (6 Feb–26 Apr), curated by Milia Xin Bi, investigates AI and intelligent technologies through tabletop gaming structures. Rachel Maclean’s They’ve Got Your Eyes (20 Mar–16 Aug), a major AI commission, is free admission. Sahjan Kooner (22 May–16 Aug) works with young people from Liverpool and Wigan youth clubs to reimagine museums – directly participatory-civic in its method.
