Culture Co-operative
The Culture Collective’s work includes creating a strategic framework for arts and culture, focusing on collaboration across sectors. The program seeks to revitalise local communities through public art projects, festivals, and cultural exchanges. The initiative is part of a broader movement to integrate the arts into regional planning, ensuring that cultural engagement contributes to social, economic, and personal growth.
Poetry anthology
Read 2 Write collaborated with Culture Co-operative to inspire poetry within the community. The anthology features contributions from recognised guest poets, local poets, and artwork by Andrew Farmer ROI.
Anthology 1
View From a Locked-Down Land
Inspired by the poetry and the collaborative process, it was essential for the anthology to be special, something that could be cherished for years.
Carefully selected typefaces for their personality and legibility complement the minimalist design, making each poem the hero on the page. The use of textured art papers, along with unique Smyth-sewn layflat binding gives it a collector's quality while ensuring longevity.
Anthology 2
An Inside View to View From a Locked-Down Land
Following the success of the first anthology, a second book was commissioned.
This complements the first book and ensures they can be displayed together. Subtle changes in the craft papers, the colour used in the binding, and the overall colour palette provide the second anthology with a distinct feel.
