Join Amanda Dunsmore, the artist behind the MAG’s current exhibition, AGREEMENT, for a two-hour workshop about how we commemorate and honour people of social and personal significance who have transformed our worlds.

Learn about Amanda’s research-intensive and relational engagements with such figures in her work, and then explore creative prompts and conversations around acknowledging the influential people in our spheres. This workshop is an opportunity to think through monuments and other forms of marking impacts of people and events in public art and other forms of commemoration.

No experience required, all materials provided. No registration required.
