A city-wide installation sharing the words of Lincoln’s children and young people.
Frustrated by being locked down, isolated and unheard, the words of children and young people have been unleashed across the city.
Earlier this year, Zest Theatre led 34 workshops with over 800 young people aged 9 – 21 across Lincoln. Zest created a space for young people to reflect on the last year, cultivating over 600 quotes about anything and everything – from daily life to the big questions of the universe.
Now their words have been turned into 80 vibrant artworks, ready to be found on posters, windows, banners and billboards in every corner of the city centre.
The Brief
We were tasked with crafting the Refresh Lincoln visual language from the ground up. What we created had to be impactful, vibrant but at its core it had to facilitate and champion the fantastic contributions from Lincoln’s children and young people.
The Outcome
Refresh Lincoln places the voices of young people at the heart of the city’s recovery, bringing colour and conversation to this place they call home! The artworks we’ve created capture the flair, the individuality and the awe-inspiring importance that the children and young people of Lincoln bring to this city.

Cultivating empowerment then allows the ignition of pride; pride in self, pride in their community, and pride in what we can achieve together.
