Phoebe Rose Gilmore is a fiercely proud Brummie, who has a love for cities and the people that live within them. Their interests lie in contemporary dialogues and collective experiences that can support connection and action, as well as work that enables people to resee something they have seen hundreds of times (be it a high street, building, or bin!) and all the effects of somewhere being bought to life in a new way. 

They have most recently finished at Moseley Road Baths overseeing the delivery and planning of pilot projects as part of Diving In a National Lottery Heritage Fund. The programme creatively explored the buildings role as a Civic Space and place of wellbeing alongside the major restoration works, before that Phoebe worked as part of Birmingham 2022 Festival.  

Phoebe welcomes any and all conversations, so please do reach out.
