Zakiya Mackenzie, Tiitu Takalo & We Live Here
On Our Doorsteps
Monday 13 May – Sunday 9 June
Explore a wilderness in the city. Bristol based writer Zakiya Mackenzie and Finnish graphic novelist Tiitu Takalo unearth the stories of those who love Sweet Briar Marshes in a series of newly commissioned billboard artworks, but you’ll need to get out there to find them!
Created in collaboration with local people and Norfolk Wildlife Trust, On Our Doorsteps is part of a nationwide project exploring the relationship between urban communities and the green spaces around us.
