‘’The exhibition opened with a panel discussion chaired by RIBA President Ben Derbyshire, members of the 2018 curatorial team Peter St John and Marcus Taylor, Fellowships Programme Manager Genevieve Marciniak and 3 Liverpool Fellows, Alice Bufton, Nansi Jones and Nathaniel Welham. The panellists discussed the role of language and audiences at the Biennale, and within the architecture sector more broadly – highlighting the unique role of the Fellows in engaging visitors with ISLAND. The discussion was opened up to the audience, with other 2018 Fellows given a platform to feed back to the curators.’’
