The Architecture Centre & Knowle West Media Centre invite you to: The Place Makers: what makes a place and who does the making?
Great places and loved spaces arent just created by architects and engineers: this event and photographic exhibition shares the stories of some of the alternative community pioneers helping to shape Bristol.
Frances Gard has photographed community activists from across Bristol - Stokes Croft and Old Market to Southville and Clifton - vibrantly illustrating how different people are pursuing the same goal: making their community a better place to be.
Do you care enough about the place where you live?
