With 10 years’ experience working in the contemporary visual arts, Georgina has spent the last eight specialising in devising and delivering public realm projects, working collaboratively with artists, organisations, city councils, developers, architects and fabricators to create unique encounters that engage new audiences, re-awaken places and inspire change. Whether in fields, forests, beaches, heritage sites or urban city centres, she is passionate about the civic role that arts can play in creating new ways to access and experience the world around us, bringing temporary and permanent public artworks to life in unusual and ambitious locations.
The magic of many public realm projects is that no one opportunity, place, partner or funding collaboration is ever quite the same. Georgina will be joining Art Bar Bristol to talk about her experience of the Producer’s role as an “initiator, mediator, translator and firefighter” – the person that often dreams, connects and problem solves to make things happen.
With insights into her Producing role at internationally renowned arts organisation Situations, alongside her Public Art Policy writing for Cities, Producing for Trust New Artand current freelance roles at UWE, The Architecture Centre and Terrestrial, Georgina will share the challenges and highlights of her professional journey, touching upon future plans and explainingwhy she feels that now, more than ever, there needs to be a collaborative push for understanding the long term positive value and impact that public art can have on our cities, landscapes and lives.
