Inspired by current exhibition Found Cities, Lost Objects at Leeds Art Gallery, four Leeds-based artists have been commissioned by Arts Council Collection to create artworks for billboards around the city.
On the evening of Thursday 25 April, these artists will be in conversation with Lubaina Himid CBE, curator of the exhibition ‘Found Cities, Lost Objects’. The artists selected from an open call-out are: Becca Blake, Hannaa Hamdache, Alicja Mrozowska and Jioni Warner. This will be a free online talk and there will be a chance to pose questions to the artists and to Lubaina.
You can see these billboards around the city across April – please see the gallery’s website for a full list of locations.
Found Cities, Lost Objects: Women in the City is an Arts Council Collection national touring exhibition curated by Turner Prize-winning artist and cultural activist Lubaina Himid CBE. Drawn from the rich holdings of the Arts Council Collection and with additions in Leeds from Yorkshire based artists, this exhibition considers the privileges enjoyed and boundaries faced by women in the modern city. This extensive and diverse exhibition of over 60 works presents a wide array of modern and contemporary art, including painting, sculpture, photography and film. The exhibition is currently on show at Leeds Art Gallery until 21 April 2024.
