Papergirl is a global project that aims to open the art world into the urban streets of everyday life. It is an intervention seeking to surprise people and to heartily upturn the notable predictability of day to day life.
Berlin art student Aisha Ronniger began developing the project in 2006, and through her online documentation of the project, unwittingly inspired like-minded folk from around the globe into organising a Papergirl project in their city.
Papergirl aspires to broaden the public consciousness of both local and global artists, and provide them with a wider, more liberal venue to exhibit their work.
The concept begins with an open call for art, welcoming anyone creatively minded to submit their drawings, paintings, screen prints, photographs, textiles, stickers, poems, zines… anything that can be rolled up and transported with ease.
Art is collected, exhibited, and then distributed on mass to an unsuspecting public, via an atmospheric array of honkingly exuberant and ravishingly roadworthy B̶e̶r̶l̶i̶n̶e̶r̶s̶ Brummies on bicycles.
You don’t have to be a girl to be involved in Papergirl. If a blend of bicycles and art speak to you then get in touch to be a part of Birmingham’s first Papergirl.
Papergirl is, in short: Participatory, analogue, non-commercial and impulsive.
