Dr Sergeant, Associate Professor of Twentieth and Twenty-First Century Literature, said:
"The Sustainability Hub mural joins a suite of other artworks produced by creatives and communities across Devon. These include murals in Drake Circus and Tiverton; a set of mobile online games set in Plymouth; illustrations that take in Wembury, Brixton, Newton Ferrers and Noss Mayo, Yealmpton, Torbay and Exeter; poetry by the nationally acclaimed poet Fiona Benson; and an animation by Bafta winner Ashley Potter that is inspired by locations from across the county. These eye-catching Visions are part of a wider movement encouraging people to reimagine the places they live in, as a way of starting to work towards the necessary changes set out by the Devon Carbon Plan."
