Q&A: Sophie Tea on 'Under The Pier'

“First of all, I love that New Public is women-owned and I think that alignment is a big part of why this collaboration has felt so right from the beginning. There's something really powerful about women building things on their own terms, in their own way, and I feel that every day in what I do.”

Q&A: Charlotte Colbert on 'Chasing Rainbows'

“the most wonderful thing about the space of the street is its possibilities and its randomness, and the fact that it can take you out of your schedule and your sense of busyness. Everyone is always going somewhere, but through these kinds of interventions, there is potentially a moment of respite from purpose, which opens up the possibility of newness, of reassessment, and of different kinds of connection.”

Q&A: Lakwena on 'Rise and Shine'

“My work is about creating moments of connection, where people can pause, feel uplifted and maybe see surroundings or settings differently. Even a brief encounter with colour, light and positive messaging can shift the energy of a space and create a shared experience.”
