'Making A Stand' in City Square reawakens history and captures the magic of the Forest of Leodis.
Inspired by Leeds' roots as an ancient woodland, world-famous visual artist Michael Pinsky and award-winning environmental architects Studio Bark put sustainability at the heart of this epic piece for LEEDS 2023.
On Wednesday 3 October, Making a Stand hosts guided tours throughout the day, an opportunity explore the history of Leeds’ City Square as well as how Making A Stand came to be and the themes it seeks to explore as an artwork.
Volunteers will lead guided tours starting promptly on Wednesday 3 October at:
- 12:30 - 13:00
- 13:30 - 14:00
- 14:15 - 14:45
The tours, written by local writer Clifford Stean, will feature history about the Square and provide an insight into the development of Making A Stand.
Tours will roughly last 15-25 minutes, and there will be an opportunity for you to roam the sculpture, ask questions and discover further using Making A Stand Online after the tour is completed. Volunteer-led tours are free and drop-in, with no booking necessary.
