City Makers, Lydia Caprani

City Makers is part of a series of five window displays made by local artists and commissioned by Absolutely Cultured, made in response to the theme of how arts, culture and creativity help to rebuild city centres post-lockdown.

You will find the other four located in and around Whitefriargate in Hull city centre. 

Through the use of bright colours and bold shapes, building blocks rise up to form a playful cityscape, completed with drawings by you!

Artist Lydia Caprani creates an exciting, illustrated window vinyl to represent the energising of the city’s streets, encouraging local people to come together and get creative. Bringing together unused designs for the Creative Hull branding designed by the artist, members of the public are asked to grab a window pen and draw a miniature self-portrait carrying blocks, pencils and paint brushes, working together to ‘build’ the pre-existing illustration.

“Come down to Whitefriargate to not only say hello but get involved in the design itself! Grab a window marker and join me in transforming a window into a truly Creative Hull cityscape with hand-drawn self-portraits. All ages, abilities, and friendly faces welcomed – I look forward to meeting you!” – Lydia Caprani

City Makers is a playful and interactive window installation which invites residents of all ages and abilities to bring life to the illustration, building Hull back together.
