Over 100, 1.8m tall Superlambananas, one of Liverpool’s most iconic and best loved pieces of public art & originally, created by Taro Chiezo for ‘Arts Transpennine’ in 98 - will be painted, decorated and adorned by local artists, community groups and celebrities. The Go Superlambanana sculpture has been specially designed to act as a 3D canvas to showcase the creativity of Liverpool & its heritage; architecture; regeneration and its world renowned arts scene.
