PARADE book launch

PARADE: public modes of assembly and forms of address

I contribute to Critical Practice, a cluster of artists, researchers and academics hosted by the CCW Graduate School at Chelsea College of Arts.

We have a longstanding interest in art, public goods, spaces, services and knowledge, and a track record of producing original, participatory events.

In a bespoke, temporary structure designed by award-winning architects we produced PARADE a programme of events that explored the diverse, contested and vital conceptions of being in public.

PARADE was so successful we were able to produce a legacy publication, the book will be launched on Thursday 3rd March at 5.30 pm with a conversation about public protest with Joseph Heatcott, in the lecture theatre at Chelsea College of Art and Design. Maybe see you there?

PARADE evolved out of the Public Body, experiments in Modes of Assembly and the famous PubliCamp

It also inspired the development of a currency and Truth is Concrete.
