About the project

Locus - an art project with refugees, asylum seekers and members of the local community from Portsmouth. Artists Ania Bas & Les Monaghan were in residence at Portsmouth Friendship Centre for a year working with the participants to explore their personal LOCUS.

The residency took place between October 2009 and September 2010.

Some of the works developed during the residency continue their post-project life. This blog is being updated with any news on where the work can be seen, played, encountered. If you are interested in learning more contact Ania on aniabas{at}gmail{dot}com

Sewing words
















We started sewing! Needles and cotton threads are the latest available materials. Sewing is seen as a very feminine activity, but some men are having a go! And there is a fair bit of helping going on, people finishing each other designs for each other, commenting on choice of colours and chosen shapes.

Loads of writing-sewing is going on in a few alphabets and languages.
