What


Built by Us is a collaborative project by artist Alice Louisa and I, made to celebrate the community local to Northam Road in Southampton. Each person or community project featured is represented by a portrait and a painted flower, from Harvey, founder of Ropewalk Community Garden, to James from Caustic Bloom, whose work helps rewild the city’s verges.

Notes


Our piece was part of ZEST Art Collective’s Roadmap exhibition, which took place alongside a community event featuring a day of free workshops and food for all who attended. By closing Northam Road, we were able to take over the street and create space for families to enjoy large chalk drawings, make eco seed bombs, paint rocks, and more. View more about the project here.
