Context
I co-founded Cosmos as a response to the need for more accessible, community driven creative spaces within Liverpool.
The initiative was built to bring together artists, musicians, and cultural organisations creating a platform where underrepresented voices could be seen, heard, and supported through live events, exhibitions, and collaborative projects.
Rather than operating as a one-off event series, Cosmos was developed as an ongoing programme designed to grow alongside the city’s creative community.
CREATIVE ROLE
Co-Founder & Creative Director
Development of platform concept and identity
Creation of visual artwork and live art activations
Curation of events, collaborations, and exhibitions
Execution
Cosmos was built as a multidisciplinary platform, blending visual art, music, and community engagement into a series of immersive experiences.
Each event brought together different collaborators—from music platforms like Astral to collectives such as Liverpool Audio Network—creating a diverse programme that reflected the city’s creative landscape.
Live art played a central role, with artwork created in real time alongside performances, installations, and merch releases allowing the visual identity to evolve organically within each event.
The platform extended beyond events into collaborations, exhibitions, and product creating a connected ecosystem rather than isolated outputs.
Liverpool Audio Network
Teamed up with Liverpool Audio Network to support their mission of uplifting the North West’s electronic music community. These events spotlighted underrepresented voices through live painting and communal art installations.
PROGRAMMED TO FEEL X NEIL KEATING
Kicked off with the ‘Programmed To Feel x Neil Keating’ EP and merch launch event at Baltic Triangle, co-hosted with musician Dowdwith DJs, live visuals, and limited-edition apparel made in partnership with Make Thread.
Outcome
Multiple live events delivered across Liverpool
Platform supporting emerging and underrepresented creatives
Cross-collaboration between artists, musicians, and organisations
Development of a recognisable cultural identity within the city
Impact
Cosmos created a space for collaboration, visibility, and creative exchange—bridging gaps between disciplines and communities.
As a platform, it laid the groundwork for future projects—establishing an approach that blends art, music, and environment into connected cultural experiences.
