Company description
The Citizens Wallpaper is a safe space where people visually express themselves in confidence about themselves, their experiences, discoveries and memories. It encourages us to celebrate our differences through creativity.
Our society is changing. Art and media have an important part to play in inspiring and shaping a positive future for all. The Citizens Wallpaper engages communities in expressing identity and citizenship. It highlights topics such as ecology, politics, identity and memory. The results are exhibited in local and neutral spaces, thus bringing different viewpoints together.
The Citizens Wallpaper reflects serious contemporary issues. It explores modern cultural connections by sharing extracts from personal stories, giving a powerful voice to communal experiences.
