Carl Robertshaw Design Director, PoliNations
Carl’s work has been celebrated on world stages such as The Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show, The Royal Opera House, Glastonbury, the Commonwealth Games and the 2012 London Olympic ceremonies. Carl has collaborated with artists such as Björk, ANOHNI, Kylie Minogue, Hussein Chalayan and has been commissioned by MoMA NY, The Hayward Gallery and The London Design Biennale. Carl was instrumental in developing the Hatchling, potentially the world's largest non-mechanical flying puppet, which led the procession for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Carl is leading in the creation of PoliNations, a groundbreaking multidisciplinary public art installation in the heart of Birmingham this summer celebrating diversity through performance, live plants, light and sound, mass participation, sanctuary spaces, local voices, nature and spectacle.
