How can public art and placemaking offer nuanced perspectives and raise awareness of women with lived experiences in the justice system? How can local support and creative spaces foster change in how these women are perceived? In what ways can public art, through placemaking, advocate to challenge stereotypes, and transform the physical and social landscapes of communities?
Join us for an evening of thought-provoking discussions where we tackle these vital questions. This event will bring together community campaign groups, public art commissioners, and artists who use their work to share the powerful stories of women in the justice system. Together, we will explore the role of public art in placemaking, and how it can reshape environments, build empathy, and advocate for positive social change.
