Bradford 2025, Word on the Street
Campaign · Print · Public Work · Typography
Commissioned by Bradford 2025, we’re proud to have created Word on the Street as part of Bradford’s successful bid to become UK City of Culture 2025.
A lot gets said about Bradford, but bidding to become City of Culture was about allowing Bradford to tell it’s own story, in it’s own words — using quotes from local poets, school children, residents, writers and rappers, writ (very) large across the city.
The large scale street art celebrated the writing of local poet Kirsty Taylor, Bradford’s own Bad By Chiller Crew, indie zine publishers Bradical Press and local student Iqra Khan from Belle Vue Girls Academy.
Designed and installed by Split with the support of designer, typographer and friend of the studio Adam Greasley.
