A Community of Kindness Project

Art project tackles division across coastal towns

Look Again has launched its latest public-realm project across the coastline between Brighton and Eastbourne. Delivered in collaboration with artist Supermundane and arts educator Dawn East, the project will see bold, joyful artworks appearing in unexpected locations in Seaford, Newhaven, Peacehaven and Telscombe.

The billboard, banner and poster campaign transforms creativity into collective action, with thousands of young creatives from these coastal towns taking part in the project. The campaign features new work by Supermundane alongside over 100 original designs created by local primary and secondary school pupils. Centred on the universal values of warmth and kindness, the project offers a visible reminder that communities are stronger when they stand together against hate and division.

Councillor Zoe Nicholson, Leader of Lewes District Council, said:
“Seeing these vibrant posters is genuinely uplifting. Their messages of respect, consideration and kindness shine so brightly at a time when the communities can feel divided. “My sincere thanks to everyone who has helped to give life to this powerful and heartfelt project.”

Based in Newhaven, Look Again is a socially engaged creative project that has previously delivered a large-scale mural festival, an exhibition of inflatable sculptures by Bruce Asbestos, and a programme of cultural events animating the riverside near Newhaven station. The organisation specialises in delivering high-quality cultural experiences that activate underused public spaces and place creativity at the heart of community life.

“This is our largest participatory art project to date,” says Charlotte Parsons from Look Again. “Showing art in the public realm is about much more than sharing space — it’s an energising mix of place, people and creativity. ”

The Lewes District Council project runs throughout the Spring. Find out more about the project and to download your own pack to make a poster at: www.lookagainnewhaven.co.uk/community-of-kindness
