As Hull gets used to life as UK City of Culture 2017 we are asking: what does it mean to live in the city and how is the title affecting things?
More than £30m is being spent on events throughout the year and £25m has been invested in revamping the city centre and refurbishing the Ferens Art Gallery and the city’s main theatre. But are there other impacts that are less obvious to outsiders? What do you hope will be the legacy?
As well as your stories we would like to see photographs of Hull and what it means to you to live there. What insights would you like to share about the city that other people probably aren’t aware of? What’s great about Hull and what changes would you like to see? What impact does City of Culture have? Perhaps you have visited installations or events – what are they like? Do controversies remain?
We would also like to hear more generally from people in Hull about the city’s identity and the communities that make it.
