A stunning new mural has appeared on the side of a building in Toxeth with a powerful story behind it.
The artwork on St James Mission Hall, Windsor Street, was designed by Brazilian artist Liam Bononi and commissioned by the charity Bridge2. The charity, which is based in the building, offer a range of different support services and workshops to refugees, asylum seekers and local community.

Liam, 28, told the ECHO: "They invited me to paint that mural and try to represent the stories of people who use the services in the building. I did seven meetings before I started creating the design to know more about them and these stories, and how they came to the UK; their goals, what they want to reach, their dreams."
Following the meetings, Liam started to design the mural, called 'Home Is Where You Feel Safe', on April 15. It is set to be officially unveiled on Friday 6 May as part of the launch of the Metamorphosis exhibition at Gallery 1889 on Windsor Street.
Liam, originally from Brazil, moved to Liverpool three years ago because of its thriving art scene. His other works in the city include a 50ft mural on one side of the Wedding House building, in Great George Place, and murals of Liverpool legends Steven Gerrard and Alan Kennedy in Anfield.
