This interactive session explores how public visual culture—such as posters, signage, and notices—shapes our experience of shared spaces. Beginning with an observation of the posters that crowd our streets, participants will reflect on their messaging, aesthetics, accessibility, and whose voices they represent or exclude.

Following this, participants will discuss how public-facing visuals can be more engaging, representative, and inclusive of diverse communities, before taking part in a hands-on poster-making session. Here, they will design and create their own alternative posters, responding to local issues, celebrating community identities, or simply experimenting with more colourful, expressive, and people-centered forms of communication.

The session encourages creativity, critical thinking, and collective reimagining of public space, challenging top-down ideas of "beautification" and instead centering community expression and ownership.
