Roadmap

‘Roadmap’ explores pathways towards an exciting creative future through the theme of mapping. This exhibition features artworks made by ZEST artists, local members of the community and artists from ZEST’s broader network, ZING.

Artworks and creative interventions are exhibited in the Alfred Arcade, Alfred Arms, the Hidden Wardrobe, and outdoors along Old Northam Road as well as in Niche Gallery at ZEST’s studios in the old town. Old Northam Road is the engine of ‘Roadmap’, a hub where local people and artists can come together to envision the exciting future of the city.

‘Roadmap’ is the culmination of an 18 month-long project by ZEST Collective about the future of artists in Southampton and creativity locally. The project has also been an opportunity for ZEST to look to our own future, spending dedicated time building organisational resilience, growing ZING, and strengthening relationships with local communities and partners.
