Young people from Fairbridge Cymru made these dynamic artworks displayed on St David’s 2 hoardings. Led by artist Stella Eldon and inspired by ‘Bod’ the Fairbridge symbol, they created this chain of figures, all connected, yet each uniquely individual.

Rabab Ghazoul’s video shows participants from her workshops piecing together a jigsaw puzzle depicting an aerial view of the St David’s 2 site. While assembling the jigsaw, the group shared ideas, thoughts and responses to the site, their relationships to the city, and their memories of cities they have come from or inhabited.
