2/6 @wecanmake.bsky.social and @knowlewestmedia.bsky.social’s Retrofit Street Party showcases their demonstrator project. They’re working with residents on this street to prepare for the climate transition and retrofit their homes.
As artist in residence for @knowlewestmedia.bsky.social I'm creating a series of zines about the Retrofit Street project, a collaboration with KWMC, @wecanmake.bsky.social and residents of Andover Road that aims to make homes warm, healthy and better suited to living. Here's the first zine!
Excited to be in partnership with Future Makers & artist Ben Parry on the 'Plastic Pavilion' built outside KWMC! It will serve as a gathering space for plastic-themed workshops coming soon... 💚 Supported by @artscouncilengland.bsky.social @bathspauni.bsky.social @bristolwater.bsky.social
