Episode Details

A jaw-dropping half-fish, half-man sculpture named Skalli has landed on Liverpool’s River Mersey, sparking curiosity and conversation. Created by local artist Patric Rogers, it’s a tribute to the city’s ever-changing identity, born from folklore and the constant flow of arrivals and departures. Rogers, a lifelong Liverpudlian, sees public art as a vessel for storytelling — questioning whether myths like Skalli hold truth. Winning the prestigious Liverpool Sculpture Prize — complete with a $2,500 cash award and a public pedestal — Rogers’ piece now graces St Nicholas Church for a year, joining a legacy of socially charged art that’s reshaped the city’s cultural landscape.
