Adfree Cities have installed their latest art piece 'Digital Dystopia' in Sparks Bristol. Digital Dystopia is a visual art experience using reclaimed e-waste to reveal how major polluters use ads to greenwash their image. They're holding a launch event on the 29th January with talks and a workshop to find out how you can get involved with the movement. https://lnkd.in/eayAQErU

A vibrant hub of sustainability, creativity and education where people can explore what a greener future can look like.
About us
Global Goals Centre and Artspace Lifespace are delighted to be working together to create Sparks Bristol – an exciting new arts and sustainability hub in the old M&S building in Broadmead. As you enter Sparks, you will be transported into a department store with a difference. Departments such as fashion, food and nature will offer services from sustainable re-use shops to playful installations, and everything inbetween! Upstairs we will transform the space into a hub for local artists, offering much-needed affordable artist studios as well as a rehearsal and performance space. Launching in May 2023, Sparks Bristol will be open at least until December 2023, and hopefully much longer! The unique combination of artist spaces, sustainable retail, education and re-use is a world first pilot project that we hope can be replicated in more empty buildings in high streets across the UK.

“It’s like a little neighbourhood in here.” Journalist Simon Usborne visited Sparks Bristol while working on a piece for The Telegraph researching the reasons why so many high street department stores are standing empty and what lies ahead for these "cathedrals of commerce". https://lnkd.in/eMZDfTPv #saveourhighstreets #buylocal #meanwhileuse
What is the fate of Britain’s empty department stores?
