THE UNIVERSITY of Brighton is appealing to residents to help define part of a city.

Workshops are planned for members of the public to suggest stories and objects for the Hove Plinth, a new cultural attraction on Hove seafront designed to showcase the best in modern day sculpture.

The university is working with sculptor Jonathan Wright who will create the plinth’s “Constellation” – a mechanical model of the solar system and iconic images associated with Hove.

Dr Karina Rodriguez Echavarria, senior lecturer at the university, said: “We would like members of the public, our students and staff, to come along and tell us their views on the most exciting, relevant or significant places and landmarks in Hove that make it special and interesting, and to tell us what objects communicate why it is a place to be proud of.”

The Hove Museum workshops are on October 24, from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm.

Brighton Museum workshops are on October 31, from 10am to 12pm and 2pm to 4pm.

Contributors should take a photograph to the sessions, displaying their suggested objects. To attend, email Jonathan at jhhwright@me.com
