About

Tower of Now: A Monumental Public Artwork in Bradford

Tower of Now, created by internationally acclaimed artist Saad Qureshi, is a 15-metre sculpture located at Hall Ings, Bradford, celebrating the city’s diverse cultures. Inspired by Qureshi’s childhood in Bradford, the artwork explores memory, identity, and how architecture shapes our sense of self. The sculpture, incorporating global architectural elements and Qureshi’s intricate woodwork, stands taller than three double-decker buses and honours the city’s rich history and community.
