13 Vacant Retail Sites across the London High Street vinyled with Lockdown Love Stories
12th - 30th August 2021 ♥ curated by Philippa Found ♥ Sponsored by Derwent London

True stories self-love, friendship, getting over exes, falling in love and positive break-ups during lockdown, submitted anonymously by the public to the art-storytelling project, Lockdown Love Stories, will be displayed across 13 of Derwent London’s buildings – transforming vacant retail spaces across London into a multi-site public art exhibition and shifting a casualty of the pandemic – the high street – into a site of hope and resilience.

Enlivening windows from Oxford Street to Shoreditch High Street in Lockdown Love Stories signature pink and a bold red font, these are normal people’s true stories platformed in non-art spaces to highlight and normalise the reality of love and dating today. 

This is feminist art intervention and activist storytelling, updated for the Instagram and Covid generation.
