The screen shows a brightly coloured animation of a varied group of people holding placards bearing slogans such as ‘Together is Better, know your rights’, ‘Repair don’t Demolish’, and ‘Housing is a human right.’ Atop the image, large yellow words read; ‘A Bedroom for Everyone’ in capital letters on the diagonal across the screen.

A landscape image of a messy pile of small square publications lying on a table. The publications are pale grey and subtly speckled and feature holographic writing. The words ‘Unmasking’, ‘Remapping, ‘GU’, and ‘UoB’ go around the edges of the booklets, where the light catches the words they shine in rainbow shades.

A landscape image of a structure floating within the dark water of a canal. The wooden structure is covered in burlap and contains eight sunken compartments that contain water and green plants. The canal water is boarded by a tall brick wall, which features large white graffiti that reads ‘2DEEP’. Green plants and trees grow along the wall, behind which an industrial landscape and train tracks are visible.

The Floating Garden

A landscape image of the Bothy. The bothy structure, which looks like a small shed, is bright blue, with red shutters and details. Surrounding the Bothy, there is a gravel floor, tall brick walls, and a variety of green plants, which are partially visible in the frame. Pale blue sky peaks through gaps in the fluffy white clouds above.

Smaller black text, across the centre of the image reads 'recorded stories by Grand Union'. Small line drawings of various natural things, such as a radish, bugs, and butterflies are scattered around the image.
