This is ‘Still Standing’, a photographic project aiming to preserve the essence of urban artistic expression in Stokes Croft, Bristol, UK.

Stokes Croft is a centre for arts in Bristol, focused on street art & graffiti, cultural events, music festivals and exhibitions. The area is undergoing noticeable transformations due to gentrification, affecting its distinctive socio-cultural landscape. An area renowned for its artistic heritage, independent businesses and diverse community, now risks losing its unique identity and vibrancy.

‘Still Standing’ tells a story of resilience. Through digital translation onto the blockchain, its preservation is ensured- an act which underscores the significance of safeguarding the vibrant expressions of our communities.

This digitalised graffiti now lives forever on the blockchain, a testament to the enduring power of artistic voices.
