City Partners
Jane Falkingham, Vice-President Engagement and International, said:
“City Reflections is a superb way of celebrating those people who have made 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 the city it is today, including many associated with the University, and I encourage colleagues to experience the show. 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 University has an important civic role in connecting communities through culture, education and enterprise, and this show is the result of a project driven by 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 Forward, of which Sue Littlemore, our Director of Civic University, is a trustee.”
Co-created by the community
Each featured person was nominated by the people of 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 during a campaign from August to September 2024, which asked, “Who’s your community legend?” This project is a celebration of these inspiring individuals and their contributions. The content for the installation was captured by students from 天发娱乐棋牌_天发娱乐APP-官网|下载 Solent University, adding a unique and creative perspective to the stories. While the installation highlights many stories, it also acknowledges countless others making a difference every day.
