A sculpture aiming to 'challenge the industrial landscape of our past' will eventually be placed at the Broad Marsh site in Nottingham. The Standing in this Place project, a bronze sculpture featuring two women, will initially be unveiled before the sculpture is positioned at its permanent home.
The model will be shown off at the Nottingham Society of Artists, in Friar Lane, on Tuesday, September 20. It will be unveiled at 2pm on the day by Lord Mayor of Nottingham, Councillor Wendy Smith, before it is moved to Broad Marsh at a later date.
The community arts project has been led by Nottingham sculptor Rachel Carter, co-produced with hundreds of women across the Midlands, supported by National Lottery Project Grants through Arts Council England. It aims to address the lack of female representation in statues throughout the UK.
