Launching my new project!

This is a blog about 200 Million Flowers, a new project by Dr Lucy Wright, commissioned by Jersey Heritage for an exhibition in 2019.

The project will explore and celebrate the people and practices behind the Battle of Flowers street parade held on the island every August.

I'm an artist and researcher with interests in folk art and carnival cultures—you can see some of my previous work here: http://www.artistic-researcher.co.uk/

I'll be heading over to Jersey for a preliminary visit on 1st July 2018 and developing my piece over the coming year. Watch this space for more information and (hopefully not too irregular) updates!
