Public Art
From working with local authorities and council highways teams to network rail and fabricators, we work across various creative outputs such as way finding, murals and sculpture to create high impact public realm improvement projects with local multi-disciplinary creatives. As part of our engagement strategy we collaborate with schools, community groups, local organisations, charities and creatives to realise our vision. We manage everything from the initial brief and concept to Risk Assessments, DBS and insurances, Health & Safety, Method Statements, Procurement, budgets, site analysis, design, engagement, fabrication, evaluation, reporting and production.

Research & Insights
Our extensive knowledge and expertise of the local space support local authorities, brands, creatives and organisations in successfully delivering their projects. We do things like creating surveys and producing case studies, to delivering reports and recommendations based on analysis and findings.
When you have the deep rooted awareness, passion and understanding of a space that we consciously immerse ourselves into, you soon see that our approach does a lot more than just a shiny presentation at an inconvenient time over an introductory teams call with all to show for it at the end being a 55 page report which you will only find yourself later deleting cos if its immense size and now irrelevant and dated perspective.
Community Engagement
Its' important. Actually it's the most important. And almost impossible to summarise in this text box, so check out the images below and get a feel for yourself for how we approach the most important part of what we do.
Exhibition Curation
Before we start planning and designing the look and feel of exhibitions we work on, we start with what legacy we want to deliver, the skills we want to share and the tools we can provide for the community, to ensure the exhibition lives on outside of the walls in which we curate our spaces.
From initial design and research, to community engagement, co-curated design and build, to evaluation and reporting, we collaborate with our clients to create impactful exhibitions that support your vision and deliver are ethos of 'Less walls, more spaces'.
This ethos is built on our long term strategy for our exhibitions to exist and find homes outside of institutions, allowing the community to truly be part of the conversation. By creating more access and reducing the barriers to entry that exist, we are able to curate exhibitions that have a long lasting impact and inspire future curators by bringing their conversations and creative output to the various other spaces, or 3rd spaces that exist, where their community also live, work and play.
From pop up exhibitions in libraries, corner shops, high streets, parks and community centres to curating large scale exhibitions in museums and galleries, we bring together the community to deliver positively disruptive exhibitions across West London.
Music Spaces
From Music Festivals, to Open Mics and Sound systems we are passionate about celebrating Southall's diverse musical identity, so we work closely with local and internationally known musicians and organisations to create the space for music and communities to come together.
Southall has a rich heritage music heritage across various genres like Jazz, Rock n Roll, Swing, Blues, to Bhangra, Classical, Reggae and Soundsystem and has been home to pioneers like Jim Marshall, Cleo Laine, Misty in Roots, Panjabi hit Squad, Kuljit Bhamra and countless others - it's why i often refer to my hometown as 'The Borough of Sound'.
From creating the space for musicians to express themselves and share their stories, to providing the platform for creatives to actually make a living from their passions, we are committed to delivering safe spaces to connect, collaborate and learn.
We approach our music spaces with the consciousness that the community, the creatives and the town deserve.
Bread & Butter
Our bread and butter. Cos after all mr high vis jacket man, this borough was built on our dough, so why so sour though?
