20 Years of Transforming Public Space

About this episode

The episode reflects on 20 years of Artichoke's work in transforming public spaces through art.

This year, Artichoke turns 20. For two decades, we’ve worked with artists to transform public spaces – creating large-scale experiences that stay with people long after they’ve gone. NB: The voice/audio in this blog post has been generated using Artificial Intelligence To mark the occasion, we’re taking a moment to look back. Over the coming months, we’ll revisit some of the projects that have shaped Artichoke – unearthing untold stories, hearing from the artists and collaborators behind the work, and exploring what it takes to bring these ambitious ideas to life.
