This African Liberation Day, we honour visionary Cameroonian curator Koyo Kouoh, who reshaped global narratives of liberation through culture and art

Throughout her career, Kouoh worked to centre African perspectives within contemporary art. Through her exhibitions, institutional leadership, and mentorship of emerging artists and curators, she remained strong in her belief that African art must speak in its own language.

Partnership with BUILDHOLLYWOOD, creative street advertising specialists that place creativity in the heart of our cities.

For Dydd Gwyl Dewi, we developed a campaign that reimagined Welsh traditions. Together with Bleak Fabulous we took over 51 sites across Cardiff & Swansea showcasing a series of editorial images featuring Jukebox Academy.

The collaboration, inspired by the iconic Welsh hat, saw the students rework this traditional piece with guidance from Welsh costume designer Ffian Jones. The photographs feature a reimagining of traditional Welsh costume, weaving personal heritage into designs. With elements like the red woollen cloak, paisley shawl, and Pais a Betgwn creatively reworked, reflecting connections between the past and present. The result was a series of culturally resonant interpretations brought to life on BUILDHOLLYWOOD billboards.

“This rendering of Welsh pride and identity is an editorially impressive and emotionally accomplished collaboration, showcasing the power of national identity as it really is; a movement of inclusivity, joy, and heartfelt connection.” - Elsa Monteith for BUILDHOLLYWOOD
