Streetland was great fun yesterday in the blazing Govanhill Sunshine. We really liked the Interplanetary Postbox and the two art exhibitions at the Chalet and Polka Dot Punks. Here are a few images from the day.
The project I was involved with asked people “if they were to make a staute to you in Govanhill, what would it say?” There were some interesting, funny, depressing and uplifting responses along with teenage boys drawing large representations of particular part of the human anatomy. More photos of the statue project (minus the anatomy lesson) can be viewed here.
