Little Kelham, developed by Citu, is one of the flagship housing projects in the Kelham Island area of Sheffield City Centre - which is now known as one of the coolest neighbourhoods in the world and one of the best places to live in the UK.
The artwork here is specially created by the brilliant artist Corbin Shaw for Get Together festival, which celebrated it's 3rd year by taking over the whole of Kelham Island in May 2023. We are so pleased to feature the first digital media piece Corbin has worked on right, here in his home town - especially in Kelham Island, where his dad still works to this day!
It's a piece that captures the spirit of the city, somehow: hopeful yet realistic, positive without being overly optimistic; down to earth without being dull.
So take those selfies and record those videos and share them with the world on social media.
