Zakiya Mackenzie, Tiitu Takalo & We Live Here

On Our Doorsteps

Monday 13 May – Sunday 9 June

This is a past event which has now ended.

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.

Access information: Audio descriptions (and accompanying transcripts) for each of the six artworks are linked below. If you download the React Accessibility app, you will also be able to access these links on-site, directing you specifically to the artwork that is in front of you.

Arts make life better

Norfolk & Norwich Festival brings tens of thousands of people together in celebration – it has been doing this for over 250 years. Through our May Festival and our year-round arts education work, focusing on children and young people, we lead and support celebration, creativity and curiosity in communities across Norfolk and the region.

This year we begin an exciting new initiative, Festival Connect & Create that will bring creative opportunities to those schools and communities with least provision. Creativity transforms people’s lives. It builds cohesive communities, develops vital skills and supports health and wellbeing. We want more people to have access to creative opportunities.

Please consider donating to support and develop this work. With your help we can increase access to the life changing power of the arts.
