I Want to Live in a
City Where No One
Is Sent to War (detail)
2006
I Want to Live in a City Where presents a wish-list of liberal policies, an ambitious, artist-led agenda for civic agitation, review and renewal.

The work examines the importance of gender equality: I Want to Live in a City Where... Half the People in Charge are Women.

It champions robust civil liberties: I Want to Live in a City Where... No One Can be Held without Trial; and I Want to Live in a City Where... Immigration is Regarded as a New Source of Strength.

The work calls for a city and civic life characterised by tolerance and inclusion for all, particularly for individuals or communities that might be regarded as 'other'.
