10 years ago today we unveiled UNEARTHED- a mass participation memorial sculpture in Stoke-on-Trent. Still donāt know if anything like it exists elsewhere. Maybe @arestlessart would know
#OTD 10 years ago we unveiled Unearthed, designed by @sairenadin and @nicolart, to commemorate the city's links to Lidice in the Czech Republic. šWhen the Nazis destroyed Lidice, the people of Stoke-on-Trent, led by Barnett Stross, launched a campaign to rebuild the village.

Co-created through the lens of art, science, engineering and mathematics, Epic Fail was an unforgettable experience which educated and entertained in equal measure. It was also a joyous success! @OLCAFenton @KidCarpet @restoke @contactsjr @BlytheyT

YES! We are part of our community and contribute what we can as artists. We open up alternative spaces and opportunities for creativity, never imposing change on people ā„ļø Wise observations as always from @arestlessart thank you.

Well said @fslconsult. A site like #Spode deserves smart, sympathetic development. The Council should take heed of @SSoA_news 2017 #StudioTemporalPlaces work led by @MarkAlunEmms to benchmark their vision. Not to mention @URBEDmcrās widely consulted plans from 2009

Thank you @arlenegoldbard & @arestlessart for your podcast on evaluation in community art. As a community artist and evaluator @restoke itās good to hear others grappling with the contradictions of the job. Personally, āTheory of Changeā makes me queasy.
