About


















01 Ardour

Collaborative project by Bibi Lewin-Sanderson and Roxanna Luke.

A publication on the topic of protest. Issue 1 is a guide through Derek Jarman’s garden, each chapter inspired by different sections of his Dungeness home. The curated selection of articles is a reflection on how in it’s nature, Prospect Cottage and it’s surroundings, is a symbol of expressive opposition.

05 The Great Stir

The Great Stir
explores the process of dealing with change which is a phenonmenon that humans are usually are opposed to. The effect of this on the brain can cause disorientation and can alter our perceptions and processing. This is illustrated through the blurring categorisation of materials taking the form of  7 different artefacts.

06 Plants for Unity

Plants for Unity is a biodiversity-inspired comic book written, illustrated, and devised by the Youth Forum at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The Kew Youth Forum are a group of 14 - 17 year olds who come together monthly to meet like-minded people, learn about the natural world, and to make art that inspires people to care about protecting threatened species of plants and fungi. The stories they have written touch upon themes of belonging, togetherness, and the critical need for us to band together to halt biodiversity loss however we can.

A celebration of queer love by recognising the small and specific intimacies both shared and experienced along Oxford Road, a street running through Manchester’s centre. 15 stickers were designed and feature in the split screen short film - the project aims to be of relevance to LGBTQIA students and citizens of Manchester that will find humor and relatability in the specificities and familiarities of the shots.

08 The Empty Words Colouring Book

Working with extracts from her 2019 speech to the UN as a basis, the colouring book aims to engage and educate readers on the climate crisis in a creative and fun way. Greta gave this speech at the United Nations in New York City in 2019. It is a typical example of the way she communicates. I chose to aim this at children as considering Thunberg’s work, she has been notably influential in the ‘Fridays for Future’ protests in which school students strike in order to make their voices heard 
on the topic.
