Online Professional Practice Seminar: Public Sculpture, Gender, and Sustainability.

With a particular focus on notions of sustainability, considering not just environmental concerns but of artistic practice, this seminar will invite a group of UK based artists and curators who identify as female or non-binary to address the issues of sustainability and gender inequality in large scale public art projects. We are particularly interested in the artists’ voice and how to platform this within the wider dialogue. We want to consider the value of public art to (British) society, at the same time as its impact on the world in which we live, and where it must go from here to create a sustainable future for both, therefore via this seminar we hope to encourage sharing of collaborative and collective solutions including speculative or nascent models that may foster a sustainable future for public sculpture.
