roADMAP: ARE WE NEARLY THERE YET?

As part of our third major project ‘ZEST Roadmap’, ZEST have commissioned two of our artists, Jennifer Mon and Bryn Lloyd, to interpret themes of ‘Mapping’ in response to the future of the Collective, Old Northam Road, and the place of artists in the city.

‘Roadmap: Are we nearly there yet?’ is an exhibition speaking to the pressing matters impacting artistic and community spaces. It critically considers local and regional issues of gentrification, whilst advocating for the importance of playful encounters that art practice can activate to reimagine the creative and cultural significance of places like Old Northam Road. 

This exhibition is a precursor to the ‘Roadmap’ showcase taking place along Old Northam Road later this May.

The ‘ZEST Roadmap’ project is a 1.5 year-long organisational development project dedicated to the future of ZEST, Old Northam Road, and creativity in the city. The project is providing opportunities to artists and local community members through artist-led workshops, mentoring opportunities, and exhibitions.
