This research operated on two levels: [BLOK] tackled the question of female representation, as well as the issue of women artists as authors of public sculpture, considering both gender and class. After presenting their conclusions, and new questions which emerged from the process, [BLOK] will broaden the argument to the public space of Brussels, analyzing politics of creating public memory in order to detect the material base which generates patriarchal patterns.

► We’ve got a little instruction for all participants: please bring an example of a local sculpture in Brussels which represents a woman or is created by a woman.
