This is part of an online event showing early work created as part of the Social Art Network's "Monuments and Memorials" project, which "responds to current debate and action in the context of COVID-19, Black Lives Matter, Decolonisation, and efforts to memorialise under-represented and persecuted communities and civil rights activists." Also showing work will be Yuen Fong Ling ("Towards Memorial" project on Sheffield's 19th-century pioneering gay socialist sandal-wearer Edward Carpenter), Sile Sibanda (Zimbabwean spoken-word artist based in Rotherham), and Maria Chrisá ("Between Times" project on checkpoints, controlled passage, and time in Palestine).
