Key information

Date: Wednesday 02 December 2020

Time: 6:00pm to 8:00pm

Cost: Free

Join Museum as Muck 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 a provocation from Rosemary Stubbs (PHD candidate) before launching into community-led conversations on: 

  1. Docks, Slums and Riots: a true representation of the working class?

  1. Working Class Heroes: who do you wish you had seen in the public realm when you were growing up?

  1. More than statues? Ways that socio-economic diversity can be represented in London’s public realm.

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 LGBTQ+ Black, Asian and minority ethnic, women and disabled groups and will include consideration of representation of socio-economic diversity.  

Discussions from this event will feed directly into the first meeting of the Commission in January 2021. This forms part of a series of community events and there will be further opportunities to engage with the work of the Commission throughout the two-year length of the project.
