The Fleet Street Quarter Business Improvement District (BID) is a 43 hectare area on the western side of the City of London. We aim to enhance the economic vitality and cultural vibrancy of London’s historic Fleet Street area by investing in public realm improvements, community initiatives, and business support services. We focus on fostering a thriving, dynamic environment for businesses, visitors, and residents, through collaboration and strategic developments.
Our installation for LFA2025 addresses thinking on planning for future generations, thinking beyond boundaries, valuing diversity, leveraging innovation and working in partnership.
The artist, Oskar Zieta, works in urban spaces and uses innovative and sustainable methods in his design and materials. His proposed design, ‘Whispers’ invites people of all backgrounds to join in conversation—
”whether spoken softly, in hushed tones, or even in whispers—sitting together in a circle, we can break down barriers and connect meaningfully. Our aspiration is for Londoners to join us in breathing life into ‘Whispers’… Designing public and private spaces, as well as entire cities, would be meaningless without the voices that shape them. These voices are numerous—often contradictory, and sometimes silent. Let architecture empower people to speak—whether in a firm voice or a whisper.” (Oskar Zieta)
This will all be delivered as a partnership between Fleet Street Quarter BID, the Polish Cultural Institute, Let’s Art Foundation, On&On Designs and LFA as part of the UK/Poland Season 2025.
