A collaboration between Connor Allen, RedBrk, and Newport City Council, this project builds on their previous knife crime poetry video—already shared with local schools—to raise awareness and spark dialogue. The next phase will create a series of powerful, targeted films addressing key issues affecting Newport’s communities, including gang culture and drug use.
What's the true heart of the city? For me, At the heart of Newport are its people — the characters, faces, and communities that give the city its pulse. This public art installation is a love letter to them: a celebration of resilience, connection, and hope. Life is a puzzle, and through our shared experiences, we help one another find missing pieces. This work aims to offer those pieces — hope, empowerment, and love — to the people who make Newport, Newport.
