Community Design Agency

Community Design Agency (CDA) is the principal host organisation for Govandi Arts Festival. CDA has been working with the residents of Natwar Parekh Colony in Govandi to create safe, vibrant and accessible spaces through placemaking and community building. The festival is both a culmination and extension of CDA’s practice which aims to spotlight the arts and culture of the people of Govandi.

The Lamplighters

The Lamplighters are a group of artists who formed to create Church Road Lantern Parade in Inner East Bristol where they live. Their work brings people together across diverse and divided neighbourhoods - with  the street as the common meeting point. Lamplighters will work closely with the community of Govandi through the period of a two weeks residency program to create a lantern parade.
