The ‘Ribbons’ sculpture, selected for the Feminist Public Sculpture project, is due to be installed in Autumn.

This sculpture, in partnership with Leeds City Council, Leeds Arts University and Leeds City College, champions women’s achievements in Leeds and goes some way to correct a gender imbalance in public art in the city. Leeds Civic Trust has been one of its sponsors.

How timely then that there is to be a panel discussion with the comtemporary artist and creator of ‘Ribbons’, Pippa Hale, chaired by Professor Griselda Pollock in the City Room, Leeds Playhouse on 17 October at 6.30pm.

Joining them on the panel is Alison Lowe, the Deputy Mayor for Police and Crime who, with Rachel Reeves MP and Chancellor of the Exchequer, was instrumental in getting the project off the ground, and Jane Bhoyroo, Principal Keeper at Leeds Art Gallery.

The discussion will cover the passage of the project from its creation to installation moving more generally to discuss public art in the city of Leeds.

The capacity of the room is limited, so get your tickets early! Please note that you need to show a ticket to access this event.
