Meeting with an Expert: Placemaking artist

A virtual or physical meeting with a placemaking artist. “Placemaking is a multi-faceted approach to the planning, design, and management of public spaces. Placemaking capitalises on a local community's assets, inspiration, and potential, with the intention of creating public spaces that promote people's health, happiness, and well-being” (Wikipedia). Our project of creating information plaques for a playground is intrinsically related to this idea of ‘placemaking’, and as such, it is located in a broader cultural, social, and artistic context. In this session, we will meet with a placemaking artist, who will tell the students about projects they have carried out in different communities in order to expose students to this larger context and inspire ideas for their own project.
