Imagined Places – our exhibition at Lighthouse
23rd – 26th March 2023
This exhibition is the outcome of an intensive 3-month residency by three creative teams commissioned by the Sussex Co-Lab at the University of Sussex. The teams were selected through an open call to respond to the urgent need for dialogue and community engagement in sustainable city planning. The goal was to improve access and the representation of a wider demographic in that process.

The Urban Fabric
We are really pleased to announce our new residency – Resilient Cities that we are running with Quiet Down There in collaboration with Sussex Co-lab at Sussex University.
Urban Fabric: Quiet Down There and Sew Fabulous are working closely with the London Road community to create an urban fabric. Creating designs that capture what people value in the public realm and how they can be empowered to be part of the story of the changing local area. Collaborators in the creation of fabric will then decide its fate.
