About Guardians of Leeds

“Guardians of Leeds” is an innovative AR exhibition in Leeds, UK, led by award-winning South African poet Xabiso Vili. The project invited a group of talented Leeds poets to imagine and re-write the future of the city through the lenses of poetry and speculative fiction. Using murals across the city as a medium, these poets created a visionary narrative of a better, reimagined Leeds, highlighting their hopes and aspirations for the community.
