In the wake of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020, designer Greg Bunbury and other Black British creatives were invited, as part of the social initiative Black Outdoor Art, to submit artwork around themes of racism, equality, and empowerment for display on outdoor advertising billboards in London, Leeds and Bristol. The result was "the marketing of anti-racism" in spaces of high visibility that hadn't previously been available to Black creatives.
In this film, Greg Bunbury reveals the artworks he created for the project, titled Shout (2020) and I Can’t Breathe (2014), their inspiration, design process and impact.
Greg Bunbury is a graphic designer, a diversity and inclusion consultant, and a university lecturer. He helps businesses, organisations, and institutions connect with marginalised and diverse audiences, and teaches students about purpose-driven design.
