Creative BasildON is pleased to announce the appointment of the Care Contractors – Shaun C. Badham, Emma Edmondson, Laura Whiting, and Lu Williams – for our Cultural Trails artist commission. Over the next 4 months, they will be working alongside residents to create new socially engaged works, events, a cultural trail, and a publication.

The Care Contractors want to celebrate the public artwork (past and present) commissioned in Basildon and its importance to Basildon’s origin story.

They will be working to care for the historic public artworks of Basildon and imagine new works made with residents.

Using research and public events, they will explore how the roles and uses of Basildon’s public artworks have changed over time and get people involved in maintaining them for the future.
