ONE WEEK TO GO!

If we only see the person who has been sculpted, what does it tell us about who commissioned them and why? #sculpture #statue #colston #BRISTOL #London #parliamentsquare #earlofderby #Derby

Change in date to our exhibition, you can now see us on 3rd May. It will be bigger and better. Hope to see you then!

Spotted: one of London's iconic red telephone boxes turned into a coffee shop.

Really interested to hear what people have to say, about the complicated future for a plinth that will always have a shadow of colston @bristolmuseum

Glasgow's statues have connections to the Atlantic slave trade bbc.in/3tL8fVL

What is the touring plinth? It's your own plinth, but its also a place to reflect on how having a plinth makes you feel, while above and below... Come and see us @Bristol_Beacon on 11th April, try your own plinth and deface it

@ViscountPalmer1 You're correct, my mistake, it should say 9. Object to non-white, what a strange thing to say?! It's 'non-white men' of which Fawcett is not. Interesting comment though, maybe you could answer why is 'Palmerston' there? Some would say he is irrelevant now

#ParliamentSquare where the project began. 12 white men on pedestals, 3 non-white men no pedestals & not listed. What does this say about our #PublicSpaces
