Not Set in Stone: Public Art in Urban Space

21 September 2022

Whitworth Gallery, Manchester

What’s the future of urban monuments? How can art transform the connections between memory, race and colonialism that haunt urban spaces?

Inspired by Grenfell activists’ connections with the Movement for Black Lives and the way the white wrapping of the tower has become a canvas for visual campaigning, ‘Not Set in Stone’ was a public event exploring the reimagination of urban monuments in times of social and political change.
