The Coventrian Identity

The Coventrian identity, history and dynamics

This survey will inform a public art piece dedicated to Cov, which will be located less than 5 miles from the city centre located off Wigston Rd, inviting old and new residents. At its core, this project is about fostering community connections and unveiling the rich tapestry of Coventry's history and identity. It's time for your voice to be heard in the creation of a significant public art piece.

Your home, your history, your voice.

Answering the following questions will play a big part in capturing the nuances and unique, individual stories within the city. This will ultimately lend to developing the beautiful public art that you deserve and that you can recognize as your contribution.

Respond the best you can, and looking forward to hearing your responses!
