All 'My Culture' graffiti murals are now complete! Come to Frenchay Campus to have a better look at these amazing pieces of art

NoComment's mural 'Aim High' on Q block! 




SilentHobo's mural named 'Spirited Aspiration', which illuminates playfulness, competition and teamwork and how this can be used to achieve your Goals.







Ames1's large mural which shows character of a woman with a train of peacock feathers. This represents pride that students can take in their work and anything else they do. This is adjoined to a 'tree of wisdom' that has birdcages hanging from it with all types of birds flying free. This represents diversity within our student population and show that they have the key to unlocking their potential, while being free to be what ever they want.








Cosmo's mural depicting a free runner. Parkour, more commonly known as Free Running, began in the 1920's in France. It is an 'urban sport' which focuses on efficient movement around obstacles is based on martial art principles. Parkour is an ever growing sport.   








Josh Dent's mural is a showcase of icons from around the globe. You will be able to see one of Gandhi's famous quotes, the Greek Zeus, a Chinese dragon, Cleopatra of Egypt, a Hindu God and a mural depicting 'Unity' at UWE. 






Tom Keeling's 'Cycling Together' mural. This is located in the Cycle Hub, a very under-used area of campus. The hub has a dry cycle storage area, showers, changing rooms and lockers. I hope that in the next year more people decide to cycle to UWE and this area become better used.
