About Downlow
Downlow is a mural art trail of brand new illustrations featuring untold stories, quotes and thought-provoking activism.
Recently, local street artist Mr Bunny Bread (from internationally-respected art collective CREATENOTDESTROY) has been designing, illustrating and installing outdoor art murals in the Lozells area, to promote community cohesion, culture and a collective voice.
Downlow has been commissioned as a part of Gallery37, a creative development programme investing in North Birmingham.
