Together We Can
We are delighted to have collaborated with Portsmouth International Port, supported by Portsmouth City Council’s Energy Services Team and local technologists B4T, artist Peter Driver and The Flying Bull Academy on a collaborative artwork, hoping to inspire residents and passengers passing through the port to make positive changes to help tackle carbon and emissions.
Portsmouth International Port have bold plans to tackle emissions and carbon, and aims to be net carbon neutral by 2030, and become the UK’s first zero emission port by 2050. As a municipal port, owned by the people of Portsmouth, they have an obligation to ensure that their success doesn’t have a detrimental effect on local people living nearby.
Working with Aspex and artist Peter Driver, year 5 children at The Flying Bull Academy have created a collaborative artwork now on display on a 13-metre long billboard outside the port until the end of March.
The project kicked off as part of Portsmouth City Council’s Aspirations Week, designed to give children the chance to start thinking about what they might want to be in the future. The children heard from the port about the wide range of projects that are underway to reduce carbon and emissions, providing the background for their printmaking sessions with Peter Driver, where they created works exploring how together we can build a better future for our city and the world.
