Visual artist Herfa Martina Thompson and Law lecturer Dr Zoe Tongue first collaborated as part of Leeds Creative Labs, a programme that partners artists and academics, initiated by the University of Leeds’ Cultural Institute and facilitated in partnership with East Street Arts. 

Sounds of New Briggate is our podcast series - hosted by local people, telling local stories - which celebrates New Briggate, a unique and vibrant high street in the heart of Leeds.

We're working with Leeds-based, Iranian-born illustrator and printmaker Mohammad Barrangi to bring three large-scale paper murals to the streets of Leeds.

Do you make books or printed materials on artist-led housing, live/work spaces, civic practice or living archives? Contribute now! Together we can learn.
