We believe that public art should be truly democratic, sustainable, and rooted in the voices of the communities it serves.
Our work creates inclusive spaces where people, artists, and communities actively shape the stories and landscapes around them.
At a time when access to nature, green heritage, and cultural participation remains deeply unequal, we are building a new kind of organisation—one that values co-creation, shared ownership, and environmental responsibility. Research shows that almost 40% of people from ethnic minority backgrounds live in areas with the least access to green spaces, and individuals from low-income households are far less likely to have a green space nearby. Yet, these places—our shared landscapes, histories, and cultural narratives—are vital for well-being, identity, and belonging.
Our projects explore how heritage, sustainability, and participatory storytelling can shape more inclusive futures. By working collaboratively across disciplines, we challenge who gets to create and contribute to public art, shifting power towards collective decision-making and citizen democracy.
Our Approach
A Democratic Company Model – We are building an organisation where power is shared, decisions are made collectively, and creative work is co-owned by those who take part. We believe in citizen-led cultural production.
Green Heritage & Sustainability – Our projects explore how environmental storytelling and artistic practice can help preserve and evolve our shared cultural and ecological legacies. We use natural materials, low-impact methods, and long-term community engagement to ensure sustainability is at the core of our work.
Diverse Voices & Inclusive Participation – We work with artists, writers, and cultural leaders from underrepresented backgrounds to ensure that the stories we tell reflect the breadth of experiences, identities, and relationships people have with the land.

Whether you're an artist, community organiser, or someone passionate about the future of green heritage and democratic cultural spaces, we’d love to hear from you.
