Creating Thriving Post-Industrial Cities, Festival of Debate

Flyer for Symposium Creating Thriving Post-Industrial Cities, Festival of Debate, Sheffield, UK

Jennifer and Dr. Lizzy Craig-Atkins, from the University of Sheffield, co-organized this event.

The symposium evolved from Jennifer Vanderpool’s ongoing social practice art exhibitions, Untold Stories, a series of community-specific and site-responsive exhibitions that have occurred in the Deindustrialized Midwest Region of the U.S.A. and the Industrial North of England. Panellists offered multivocal perspectives, including workers, activists, artists, and scholars from Liverpool, UK; Sheffield, UK; Akron, Ohio; and Youngstown, Ohio.
