Join East End Women's Museum (EEWM) and the team working on the Mayor's Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm for an evening of discussion.
The event will begin with an introduction to the work of the Commission. We will then hear provocations from EEWM co-founder Sara Huws, and Ayahs Home founder Farhanah Mamoojee before breaking out into community led discussions on:
- Which London women’s stories would you like to see represented in the public realm?
- What does representation of women in the public realm look like?
- Which people / organisations / initiatives are doing this work, and can we link up and support them?
- What do we ultimately want to achieve with this shift in representation?
The purpose of the Commission for Diversity in the Public Realm is to lead a London-wide conversation on how to practically achieve greater diversity of representation across the public realm and heritage sites. This will have a focus on increasing presence and visibility of underrepresented groups including Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, women, LGTBQ+ and disabled groups and representation of socio-economic diversity.
Discussions from this event will feed directly into the first meeting of the Commission in late January 2021.
