The Yorkshire Square was the culmination of four years work by Katie Etheridge & Simon Persighetti (Small Acts) that aimed to shine a spotlight on the relationships between pubs, people and places. In 2017 the artists started working with Leeds brewers, publicans, campaigners and individuals to explore the future of social landscapes by investigating the enduring role of pubs as places of community, intergenerational exchange, entertainment, (hi)story-telling and activism.
