People Power Project

Brislexic: Claudia Collins 

The film talks about Claudia's experience of doing things differently and working creatively where she lives in Knowle West. She talks about how the community works together to help open doors for each other and how the power in asking for what you need, is both for you and the community! The film was recorded in the old newsagents in Broadwalk Shopping Centre - A space provided by Hypha - a charity that provides creative space to local artists. Claudia was hosting a Snail Being drop where people were invited to draw snailf portraits, write snail mail to themselves and look around the space. A group of young people used the snail shaped desk to set up their own (s)nail bar where they painted people's nails.  www.brislexic.com

Lockleaze Green Influencers: Minnie and Ollie 

These 2 young people are passionate about nature and animals, desperately concerned about how plastic pollution kills and damages animals and gets into the food chain, and are collecting litter from their area, and really keen to get their peers taking action.  They’re making a sculpture, have made TikTok films and are organising regular litter picks.

‍‍Brick Project is a community interest company who create communal painting activities that draw communities together. We do this by inviting participants to paint an individual piece of art that forms part of a collective mural, either in the form of a Brick Project, taking place on a brick wall, or Mandala project, a portable version, where each circle is a piece of a collective Mandala.
