Sculpting Perspectives: Mind The Gap

With Sculpture in the City’s Artistic Director & Lacuna’s Director Stella Ioannou, Eastern City’s CEO Kate Hart and Young Women’s Trust CEO Claire Reindorp.

Young women face inequality from the very start of their working lives. On average, a young woman will earn a fifth less each year than a young man of the same age. For some groups of young women, such as those from racially minoritised communities, the income gap is even larger.

In partnership with Young Women’s Trust join a long table discussion where we explore how we tackle sexism, misogyny and the gender pay gap within the creative and corporate industries. Bring your questions and share your experiences.

A Lois Weaver Long Table format is a dinner party structured by etiquette, where conversation is the only course.

There will also be donations welcomed for Young Women’s Trust who support young people with free coaching, feedback on job applications and information to help them get where they want to be.

You can donate here.

About The Long Table:

The Long Table is a format for discussion that uses the setting of a domestic dinner table as a means to generate public conversation. Conceived in 2003 by Lois Weaver in response to the divided nature of conventional panel discussions, the Long Table allows voices to be heard equally, disrupting hierarchical notions of ‘expertise.’ It was inspired by Maureen Gorris’s film Antonia’s Line, the central image of which is a dinner table getting longer and longer to accommodate a growing family of outsiders, eccentrics and friends – until finally it has to be moved outside. Since then, the Table has been set at institutions and festivals worldwide and invited hundreds of people to sit and share their views on myriad topics. The Long Table is an opensource format; anyone is welcome to use it as a means of generating discussion on any subject you choose.
