Upper Space is a non-profit street art organisation that is comprised of artists; academics; activists and community organisers. We directly support street artist’s practices whilst representing a selection of non-commercial public realm artists that engage with spacial, social and environmental justice issues within the UK and abroad.
Our main motivation is focussed on promoting alternative ideas and perceptions of public space at a time when its democracy is highly contested. Proceeds from sales of work on our site go directly to support artist’s practices and with each artist nominating a charity; direct action group or social project as a beneficiary of sales, we can ensure that money gets to where it is needed.
Love to disobey. Disobey to Love.
In 2011 the British government brought in devastating cuts to public spending in response to the financial deficit caused by a deeply flawed and unsustainable financial system. As is always the case, the marginalised and poorest citizens of the nation now feel the full force of these changes. Upper Space worked alongside young homeless people in the city of Manchester – the UK’s fourth most deprived city, in the creation of street art interventions that critically engaged with the governments changes to the housing benefit system and Localism Bill whilst creatively giving the finger to those responsible.
The project saw Upper Space artists working alongside young homeless people in the city on a series of urban interventions and installations across the city. The bus shelter interventions turned ordinary public spaces into temporary homes as Upper Space highlights the effects of the financial crisis on citizens with particular focus on the banks that have caused the crisis. These same banks are now repossessing up to 900 family homes each week as people struggle to repay mortgages that were irresponsibly sold.
The project also saw artists installing customised bird boxes across the city on lamp posts that communicated the main facts from the project to passers by.
‘Home’ Screen Print Editions:
As part of the project, Upper Space have commissioned 4 UK street artists - Ashes57, Rich T , Matt Sewell, James Hayes - to produce screen prints relating to the theme of homelessness in the city. Each edition of prints will donate 50% to our partner charity - The Limes Hostel for the Homeless, with the other 50% going to support the artists that took part.
