A Monument To...
2023



Collaboration with students from Filton Avenue Primary School, Bristol.


Students were asked, ‘If you could see a new monument in your neighbourhood, what would you dedicate it to?’ Through group conversations, and a game of statues, the students represented their ideas in gestures, and titled them.
