Description: 
Fare to Remember is a cross-disciplinary project exploring Portsmouth’s heritage through the lens of public bus travel. As an Art & Heritage photographer and part-time bus driver, I use my daily routes to observe and record fragments of civic life—faded shopfronts, brutalist towers, overlooked signage, and overheard stories.

Description: 
I am a figurative textile artist specialising in needle felting wool fibres. I incorporate recycled materials and beach combed treasures into my work, creating pictures and models.

Artist: Sarah Anne Patel

Maps:
POSE 25

Description: 
‘Powerful, evocative, vulnerably human. Each work becomes a labour of love, taking on a life of its own’. My works are visceral, tactile, imbued with a sense of human discord. Emerging forms, abstract and figurative, of wings, roots, human presence; feel familiar yet strange.

SMMAP ID #165

Artist: Samantha English

Maps:
POSE 25

Description: 
Our memories are scattered and frayed at the edges. They are at the mercy of our emotions and desires, carrying the complexity and weight of our own narratives. My exploration of memory is fractured and fragile, revealing only glimpses and a past eroded by time and emotion.
