Listen "Public Artworks for our Past and Future"
Episode Synopsis
London's historic monuments and statues are in the spotlight following the Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of the killing of George Floyd. As we re-interpret Britain's imperial and slave trading past, big questions are being asked about the creation, maintenance, removal and renewal of public artworks. In this episode of the Open City Podcast we talk to Paul Butler, one of the artists behind the Cable Street Mural which commemorates the moment where Jewish and Irish working class communities rallied together against an intolerant march through their neighbourhood.To find out more: https://bit.ly/3hFKW6t Hosted on Acast.
