FOREWORD 2 Message from Hull 2017 Ltd Hull's tenure as UK City of Culture 2017 is already widely recognised as a huge success. This was a world-class programme that brought thousands of events to this most magnificent of cities. The cultural programme attracted millions, from local people to visitors from across the UK and beyond. Having studied at the university, it's been a joy and a privilege to be a part of an incredible period in this great city's history. The evaluation undertaken by my alma mater provides preliminary evidence of the impact that the year has had. It has shown the power of art to bring people together and transform lives and its crucial role in the life of local communities and cities. It is early days of course, but it is a year the whole city can be proud of, one that can be built upon to ensure Hull's future progress. Rosie Millard OBE Chair, Hull UK City of Culture 2017 (2013-2018) 3Photo: HumberPRELIMINARY Street Sesh OUTCOMES EVALUATION Message from Hull City Council All of us involved in shaping and delivering Hull’s journey as UK City of Culture 2017 believed that it would have a profound impact on the city and as the year unfolded, that vision and belief became a reality. This preliminary evaluation of the impact of the project by the University of Hull allows us to share that story and to celebrate Hull’s success. It is also an opportunity to understand and reflect upon the detailed findings and to use these to plan for the next stage of Hull’s cultural renaissance. The results so far are impressive, demonstrating that we have exceeded or are on track to deliver almost all of our expectations and ambitions. As well as providing a benchmark for future cities of culture, the findings offer new insights for all those who are interested in how culture and the arts can transform a place and the lives of its people. Our city is extremely proud of what it has achieved as UK City of Culture and I hope others are inspired by our incredible journey.

  • Capital of Culture Mega-Events and the Potential for Gender Equality
    Gendering Cities of Culture. City/ Capital of Culture Mega-events and the Potential for Gender Equality. being a thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull and University of Oviedo. By Barbara Grabher B.A., University of Vienna. M.A., Utrecht University/ University of Granada. December 2019 Funding This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No 675378. I Abstract In the context of the transformative ambitions of event-based, culture-led urban regeneration, this thesis interrogates the production of cultures of gender equality in City/ Capital of Culture mega-events. Inspired by Donostia/ San Sebastián as European Capital of Culture in 2016 and analysed in detail in Hull’s celebration of the UK City of Culture in 2017, the investigation seeks to understand the relevance of socio-cultural values in the celebration of art, culture and heritage in the urban context. The investigation analyses the City/ Capital of Culture mega-events through a conceptualisation of their socio-cultural significance, which is informed by liminal and carnivalesque event characteristics. Relating to the politics, practices and perceptions of gender equality in mega-events, the research is based on an ethnographic study of six equality- themed events in the field sites of Hull and Donostia/ San Sebastián. The analysis develops from a relational reading of the two sites: due to its strong emphasis on negotiations of socio-cultural values, Donostia/ San Sebastián informs my research focus in Hull.
