PRSC SoA Team

Since 2007, the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft – PRSC – has worked tirelessly to promote civil liberty with a particular focus on public space. Sweeping, painting and speaking out are part of their resistance to zealous overregulation of independent initiative. Their lead has arguably encouraged others to do the same and, as a result, Stokes Croft remains a hub of confident and creative dissent.

Once every couple of weeks down at the People’s Republic of Stokes Croft we get asked “So what exactly is it that you do here anyway?” to which the answer is usually “erm… well… I guess…. lots of things?… good stuff…”.

We run small art and community projects in Stokes Croft and around Bristol, often for free. We collaborate with other art and community groups, who benefit from our facilities and resources. We're entirely self funded, and sometimes that's hard.
