Critical Practice organised a weekend of events in May 2010: ‘Parade: Public Modes of Assembly and forms of Address’. It was based around artistic and academic dialogue around the vital conceptions of being in public.

The saturday programme was a series of Bar Camps*. *(A type of seminar all attendees are encouraged to present at, and everyone is also asked to share information and experiences of the event via public web channels – as an antidote to conferences where recording devices are not permitted). These Bar camps were: Histories of the Public, Being in Public; modes of assembly and forms of address and Future Publics.

The sunday event was The Market of Ideas. A market where stalls were staffed by artists, urbanists, geographers, environmentalists, health workers, anthropologists, economists all with different programmes. Ideas were exchanged instead of cash to embody peer-2-peer exchange.

The expertise involved was epic; Contributors are listed below the photos.
