BE HUMAN

Aug 29 - Sept 27 2023

Typographic artist Kris Andrew Small has designed an immersive pop-up experience in partnership with Carnaby Street and their ‘Carnaby in Colour’ season. 

Taking over the entire ground floor of number 57 Carnaby Street for one month, Kris has created a floor to ceiling wrap around design featuring bold typography in vivid celebration of colour, collaboration and humanity. During the pop-up, limited edition art prints and apparel will be available to buy and a curated series of workshops and events on offer, including screenprinting with People of Print, Live LDN Painting by Kris, a panel discussion in partnership with GAY TIMES and a creative workshop from Annu Kilpeläinen.

Join us for the launch party from 6pm Thurs 31st August! RSVP here.

The world is getting bigger and bigger and more complex than ever. It’s easy to get consumed by it and forget at the base of everything we are Human.

– Kris Andrew Small
