Artist India Birtwisle and Young Creators of Wolverhampton Art Centre
Hands of the City (2026)
Created by young people in Wolverhampton in collaboration with India Birtwistle, Hands of the City celebrates the everyday actions that connect us.
From shaking hands to crafting, working and supporting, each form captures a moment of care, creativity and belonging. Through painted 2D and 3D hands, the artwork reflects stories of community, culture and shared heritage. Together, these gestures form a collective portrait of Wolverhampton – diverse, connected and shaped by many voices.
Location: The Way Youth Zone, School St, Wolverhampton, WV3 0NR
This artwork is part of a nine-piece Visual Arts Trail across Wolverhampton, co-created by young people and artists through hands-on workshops. Eight artworks are now installed and ready for you to explore on the trail! The ninth and final piece is coming soon!
