This is a new piece of artwork that you’ll see next to the chippy in The Row on Market Street.
I don’t know anything about it other than the author of the poetry is Judy Ugonna, OBE (background) – so please leave a comment below if you know more about it. I’m guessing it’s something to do with the Festival of Firsts?
That slatted timber has been fixed to that wall for many years. I’m not sure what purpose it’s supposed to serve but it has never looked particularly attractive.
I think it is to do with Festival of Firsts, i saw it being worked on on Thursday, it looks great whoever is responsible, street art always makes me smile, the same smile i had when i saw a cow up a tree on The Champs Elysee.
I think the picture and the poem is really good, too!
I also agree that the slatted woodwork seems to have no purpose and the wall behind would make a massive great ‘canvas’ for a mural………….
