A Tale of Two Cities: A Sketch Walk on the History of Wealth Inequality in Leeds
Gather with Leeds Sanctuary and local artist and historian, Clifford Stead, to explore the history of wealth inequality in Leeds, and how it continues today.
We will be curating a relaxed, creative environment where you can learn what the history of Leeds has to tell us in our divided world.
We’ll be meeting at the Black Prince Statue in City Square (LS1) at 5.30pm on Wednesday 18 March. No prior experience or knowledge of either history or sketching is required, and we’ll provide you with a sketchbook and pencil!
