For the Along Came a Spider conference, Artichoke brought back together some of the key people who made the project possible. Together they examined how the event came to life and the process of reimagining a city both creatively and practically. The discussion explored the development of outdoor arts, and how the sector could be better supported to enable more events of this scale.
