Cameron Cartiere, from Birkbeck College, University of London gave an excellent presentation at the CAA around her large research project which began in 2006 as a series of three community meetings on Public Art and Community Engagement, (May 8, 2006) at the Tate, Art Community and Urban regeneration, (May 16) at the Greater London Authority (GLA) on Art, Community and Urban Regeneration, and finally Art Activism and the Community (May 24, 2006) at the Whitechapel.

Her research into Public Art then took her to organize a wiki in 2007: Building Cultures: A Manifesto of Possibilities which explored the changing role of public art as a negotiating power. In addition to a series of public presentations to various constituencies she has printed a poster of this manifesto which she will send you on request.
