Get a Grip
My morning mantra! Jokes aside, we're channeling 80s comic book music video vibes with this one-of-a-kind retro styled vase. Strong lines and scarlet fingernails make this grabbing hand pop against a densely decorated monochrome field of geometry, graffiti, and weird creatures. Definitely another antique of the future!

THE REPUBLIC
A story of Stokes Croft, gentrification and the ongoing struggle
In 1999, in his hometown of Bristol, Banksy painted one of his earliest pieces, 'The Mild, Mild West' on a wall in Stokes Croft. "The Republic " documents the story of Stokes Croft since, portraying a diverse community that dares to defy the cold winds of corporate power and globalisation. But their greatest challenge looms as developers target this quarter and ready their wrecking balls. Filmed over six years, with access to twenty years of personal archives, this compelling story of our times recounts the fight by locals to retain some control over their destiny in an increasingly monocultural world.
