Public Art and the Economics of Imagination - Launch

​What is the role of public art in shaping our collective imagination, how does economics influence what kind of art is allowed in our public spaces, and where are the opportunities for radical new types of creative activity that can shift what seems possible?

​Join us for the launch of a new project from artist Toby Tobias Kidd, Future Narratives Lab and Art School Plus, that will explore all of these questions and more, including a podcast series in collaboration with Kings College London, and an article in the latest issue of Stir Magazine.

​We’ll be joined for drinks, discussion and short talks by guests including:

• ​Pil & Galia Kollectiv, Professors at Royal College of Art and Chelsea College of Arts, and authors of’ Subversive Performance in the Age of Human Capital’ (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023)

• ​Ella Snell, Founder of Art School Plus, specialist in public realm art, Associate for Cultural Associates Oxford, and Trustee of the Henry Moore Foundation

• ​Alex Parry, from the Collectivising Studio Practice project, exploring peer-to-peer care structures around the the artist studio as a micro care system
