Features07.2607.26The Last Stand on Street Football, Self-Expression and the Freedom to Play

Back to Features

“Street football is about expression, and expression is the beginning of progress for the human mind.”

Many who grew up around a football, a cage or a wall with chalk goal drawn on will know exactly what Gundeep Anand means. Before football becomes a sport, it is a game you inherit, invent and endlessly renegotiate.

There is kerby, where the aim is to strike the sweet spot of a kerb and make the ball ping straight back to you. Heads and volleys, known by countless other names, where you’re all on the same team against a revolving goalkeeper. There’s One-bounce, One-touch, and World Cup: an all-versus-all competition played into a single goal, often in pairs and usually making the most of whatever limited space is available.

The rules vary between streets, estates, schools and generations. They are argued over, abandoned and rewritten as required. This is football before it can be licensed by a corporation or governed—often questionably—by a Swiss man with a name like a Bond villain. Its essence is expression: a ball, a few friends or even strangers, and enough daylight to keep playing.

Gundeep’s own memories begin around West London, playing kerby and staying outside until sunset became the only timekeeping that mattered. He later worked as a youth worker and football coach, taking young people from one estate to another and seeing how a game could soften hostility between communities. Before becoming a director and working in advertising, that experience showed him football’s ability to create encounters that might otherwise never happen.

It also laid the foundations for The Last Stand, the street-football tournament he has now run for a decade. Combining competition with filmmaking, design and storytelling, the platform has created pathways into football, modelling, presenting and production. Its latest season took men’s and women’s teams from London to face New York, with equal prize money across both competitions, while milestones along the way include a return to the London court where it all began – under Trellick Tower – to resurface the pitch for the next generation.

For Gundeep, the value of street football cannot be reduced to the professionals or careers it produces. At a time when young people spend much of their lives being instructed where to go, what to do and how to behave, the street offers something increasingly rare: room to improvise, adapt and reveal who they are.

That freedom is visible in the character of the players, the culture surrounding The Last Stand and the imagery, photographed by SUEDE, is now being carried back onto the street through its collaboration with UNCLE.

We spoke with Gundeep about childhood freedom, football as a space for expression, the importance of youth provision, creating opportunities beyond the professional game and the unfinished business between London and New York.

TO BEGIN, CAN YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF IN YOUR OWN WORDS?

Oh, it’s a big ask. I don’t know where to start. I grew up in and around West London, mainly Southall and those sorts of areas. I went to school in Richmond and then to university in Brighton. I was a mechanical engineer before I ended up in advertising, and before that I did a lot of community work.

I decided I wanted to become a director and work with different brands. Then I paired the impact I used to have through sport with my passion for communities and what I could do with a camera. That’s how I ended up with The Last Stand, really.

For anybody encountering it for the first time, how would you introduce The Last Stand in your own words?

The Last Stand is a street-football tournament that unites communities and breaks down social barriers. It has evolved into a culture-led competition and platform combining live events, content and talent pathways.

At its core, it’s a tournament we deploy across cities, powered by culture and storytelling. I’d been running it for ten years, but we brought it back for this new season with London versus New York. It was nuts. I’ve never experienced anything like it.

WHAT ARE YOUR EARLIEST MEMORIES OF PLAYING FOOTBALL? WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THE PLACES AND PEOPLE YOU PLAYED WITH?

I remember being young and playing ‘kerby’ with my friends. I also remember the first time Arsenal reached the Champions League final. Me and my friend used to follow the team buses wherever it went; I remember Villarreal coming to Highbury in 2006.

But in terms of playing, it was just being with your friends and playing late at night. I didn’t have a watch, so it was very simple: you played for as long as the sun was out. As soon as the sun went down, you needed to be in the house. They were sick times, man.

BEFORE FOUNDING THE LAST STAND, YOU WORKED AS A YOUTH WORKER AND FOOTBALL COACH. WHAT DID THAT EXPERIENCE SHOW YOU ABOUT THE POWER OF FOOTBALL?

That’s where I started. We used to take kids from one estate to another, at a time when knife crime was a big thing. During those tournaments, you could see the hostility reduce. They were like, “Why am I trying to kill you? I played football with you last week.”

That’s where I first saw the power of the sport and how it can unite people. It doesn’t solve knife crime completely, but it can have an impact for sure.

I did that for a long time in primary schools, nurseries and communities around Shepherd’s Bush, Acton, Hammersmith, Fulham and Ladbroke Grove, mainly teaching futsal and handball. I volunteered a lot with an organisation called Active Planet, and that’s where I picked up many of these things.

AT A TIME WHEN YOUTH CLUBS AND SERVICES ARE CHRONICALLY UNDERFUNDED, WHY IS YOUTH PROVISION SO IMPORTANT—AND WHAT MAKES FOOTBALL SUCH A POWERFUL OUTLET FOR THAT WORK?

Street football is the most accessible form of football. You don’t need to buy anything special. It’s just a ball, and you can play in your trainers, jeans, whatever. That’s important because things are getting very expensive. Football in this country brings people together. It brings joy.

Street football is also about expression. Every day, there are more rules and human expression is slowly being taken away. Young people are constantly being told what to do, from the minute they wake up to the minute they go to sleep. Schools tell them exactly what to do, how to do it and where to do it. When they get home, their parents tell them what to do. There’s no time when they can actually express themselves—and expression is the beginning of progress for the human mind.

Young people need a safe place to express themselves. Youth clubs were those places initially. I remember paying 50p to go in—and sometimes they would let you off. You could play PlayStation, use a recording studio, play basketball, FIFA or pool. You’d think, “This is where I want to be.” Not everyone is trying to be a footballer.

LONDON HAS PRODUCED PLAYERS LIKE JADON SANCHO, EBERECHI EZE, JOE GOMEZ, RAHEEM STERLING AND RIO FERDINAND, WHOSE GAMES WERE SHAPED BY ESTATES, CAGES AND GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL. WHAT DOES THE STREET PUT INTO A PLAYER THAT REMAINS VISIBLE AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL?

Definitely character. It’s very character-building because it isn’t perfect. The conditions you’re playing in aren’t perfect and the environments aren’t perfect, so you have to adapt and mould. It shapes you and makes you something that other environments won’t.

It gives you that little bit of grit and that little edge. When you step into those higher-profile environments, you stand out because of what those tough backgrounds have made you. As they say, pressure makes diamonds.

BECOMING A PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALLER CAN’T BE THE ONLY MEASURE OF WHETHER GRASSROOTS FOOTBALL IS WORKING. WHAT DOES SUCCESS LOOK LIKE TO YOU, PARTICULARLY WHEN YOU’RE WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE?

Look, man, I’m not sitting here saying that we’re a charity. What we can do is provide opportunities and share the pathways that come our way.

Some of the young people have modelled for Nike, Puma and Adidas, with their faces all over Oxford Street. Some have signed brand deals or had football trials, even though that isn’t what we aim for. Others have found jobs in front of and behind the camera. One became a producer for Chelsea. Others have worked with Neymar or appeared in UEFA Champions League and Nike campaigns.

I ended up working with the Mayor of London on projects for the Euros. Before that, I worked on FIFA as a story editor, including its story mode. We put one of our presenters into the game as the voice of the streets, so 30 million players were hearing him.

The whole thing is that when you’re together, anything is possible. It isn’t easy, but with unity, many things are possible. Have a clean heart and create something that moves the needle or makes a difference; I think the rest takes care of itself.

You can have big ambitions, but you’re dealing with governments, partners, brands, local authorities, players, people’s emotions, logistics, production, PR and marketing. If you’re ready for it, it’s there for everyone. There’s enough for everyone. But does a normal person want to do all of this? No.

RACE, CLASS AND GENDER CAN ALL INFLUENCE WHO GETS TO PLAY FOOTBALL, WHO FEELS WELCOME AND WHO RECEIVES OPPORTUNITIES. HOW HAS THE LAST STAND TRIED TO CHALLENGE THOSE INEQUALITIES?

For us, the starting point was making everything equal. We launched what we described as the UK’s first women’s street-football tournament in 2021, and at every tournament we’ve done, the prize money has been equal. It isn’t more for the men and less for the women.

It’s also about opportunities and access. We didn’t only take a men’s team to New York; we took a women’s team too, and again the prize money was equal. Those are our first steps. There are many more we can take to create a better platform. We’re trying to improve, learn and partner with people who are better than us in this space.

I always ask: “What’s our contribution?” This is our contribution, and we can definitely contribute more.

COMMUNITY RESPONSIBILITY HAS ALWAYS SEEMED CENTRAL TO THE LAST STAND. WHAT SHOULD A PROJECT LEAVE BEHIND ONCE THE TOURNAMENT, CAMERAS AND SPONSORS HAVE GONE?

I started on that same pitch ten years ago, so to go back ten years later and fix it—to resurface it and make it safe and playable—was something big. It meant leaving something behind.

One of our philosophies is: leave the place better than we found it. For us to be able to do that was something I could only dream of. It literally felt like a street stadium. Now the kids can play there and it’s safe.

WHERE DID THE IDEA FOR A LONDON-VERSUS-NEW YORK TOURNAMENT BEGIN, AND WHY DID NEW YORK FEEL LIKE THE RIGHT CITY FOR LONDON TO MEET?

In terms of New York, it was a no-brainer. The World Cup was happening and this was the first time we were bringing The Last Stand back. The World Cup final was there, and this was like our street World Cup, so we thought it should end where that ended. That’s where London versus New York came from. We also wanted to see what the level in New York was like.

WHAT DID YOU FIND IN NEW YORK—AND WHAT HAPPENED WHEN THE TWO CITIES MET ON THE COURT?

An amazing community and amazing people. They loved that we were doing something for them, and the level of talent was amazing. The hospitality too—New York people go above and beyond, man.

We had support from New York’s World Cup Czar (Maya Handa). while EDC (New York City Economic Development Corporation) and the parks team helped us with sites.

Getting a permit two days before the World Cup final was extremely difficult. The mayor had put an embargo or memorandum in place, meaning any permit had to be personally approved by him. Pulling that off speaks volumes about how much the work resonated in the city. Hats off to the whole team.
The New York women won on penalties, while the men’s competition ended in a draw, so it looks like a rematch is on the cards. The men’s result stayed level because everything overran and the timings were strict.

It’s four-a-side: five minutes to win, or first to two goals. The winner stays on, and the team winning the most matches goes through before a semi-final and final. It was so tight. It was mad.

THE LAST STAND’S FILMS, MERCHANDISE AND CAMPAIGNS FEEL ROOTED IN THE PLACES AND PEOPLE INVOLVED. HOW IMPORTANT HAS THAT VISUAL AND CULTURAL LANGUAGE BEEN TO THE PROJECT?

It’s important. A lot of brands create things to grab attention. When you’re only creating to grab attention and views, you miss the cultural nuances. When you genuinely make something that represents people and speaks for them, that’s where the difference in the work shows.
Our insight, experience and relationships make the difference. Everyone, from our communities team to media and production, sees this as more than a job. They really believe in it.

For a lot of people, there’s one deadline after another. They complete one promo and it’s straight onto the next—a conveyor belt. I don’t blame them, because I know what it’s like. I worked with On Running across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and before that on Nike’s Euros campaign. Before that, I worked at Honda. I’ve been in it, so I know how it goes.

FOR THIS COLLABORATION WITH UNCLE, YOU’RE USING THE STREET TO SHARE THE LAST STAND’S MESSAGE. WHAT CAN THAT OFFER THAT A CONVENTIONAL MEDIA PLATFORM CAN’T?

I’ll be honest: I’ve never done it before, so I don’t really know what it will be like. Our thing runs on word of mouth, so this could hopefully give it some elevation.

When people see themselves elevated, it uplifts everyone. If they can see it, they can believe it, and they start to believe in themselves. Hopefully, this elevates the message. I’ll be truly honest: I don’t know what it could look like, so I’m really excited to see how it goes.

Before we finish, is there anything else you’d like to add?

There are a lot of really good people in London and the UK who want to help you. Don’t feel like your dreams or ideas aren’t worth anything. Ask, talk and share. Maybe it won’t be the first person, the second or the third, but it will be someone further down the line. Don’t give up, because this world works because of people’s dreams. That’s what makes it exciting.

When I first started, a lot of people used to say, “It’s been done.” I was like, “Yeah, it’s been done—but not by me.”

You’re unique. It doesn’t matter whether something has been done, because you’re the one doing it. That’s your contribution to society. Don’t be discouraged because it’s been done before. You haven’t done it.

Features05.2605.26Maureen Onwunali is the Poet Who Wants Better Politicians

Back to Features

“I didn’t sign up to be a content creator. I’m a poet.”

Those are the words of Maureen Onwunali, the Dublin-born Nigerian poet whose work is resonating with in-person audiences at a growing number of poetry events, while also travelling online, as culture increasingly has for much of her 23 years. “June Jordan, Audre Lorde or James Baldwin never had to post three reels a month to be picked up by the algorithm,” she says, listing both her influences and stating her disillusionment with today’s media landscape at the same time.

On the other side of that coin, though, is her gratitude that her words have reached places she has not. Her poems have found people in small towns across Australia, the Americas and beyond, carrying observations on masculinity, migration, care, nightlife and the people society forgets to notice. In Puffer Jacket Poetry, she writes of Black masculinity and the men who are rarely given permission to be soft. Put simply: ‘the mandem don’t cry enough.’ In another poem, she asks God to save, not the King, but “the people we forget to notice.” Those sending money back home. Line cooks working from a mother’s muscle memory. Voluntary litter pickers saving the world, one crushed Red Bull can at a time.’

A long-time resident of Milton Keynes, Onwunali is also interested in place as something you can shape, rather than just somewhere you happen to live. Born to Nigerian parents in Ireland, she says her family “built Nigeria in our living room,” carrying culture and tradition across borders. Ireland and Nigeria, to her, are connected by their histories of colonisation, by the same “Babylon” showing its face in different parts of the world. Milton Keynes, meanwhile, is younger and greener and still becoming itself. While Camden regularly calls with her residency at the iconic Roundhouse, MK is a place that she’s excited to have a tangible impact on.

Her own route into poetry was mostly self-taught, shaped less by the poems she was handed at school than by rap, cyphers and performance. Instead, she would sit in front of the TV while eating, watching poetry slams and studying how people used language. Poetry, as she understands it, is less a fixed document than “a living, breathing thing.”

That makes her UNCLE collaboration, created ahead of the local elections, feel especially fitting. Inspired by Zoe Leonard’s I Want a President, Onwunali’s poem asks what kind of candidate people actually want, and what might happen if we raised our standards. It is poetry off the phone screen, off the stage and into the street.

WHAT FIRST DREW YOU INTO POETRY, AND AT WHAT POINT DID IT SHIFT FROM SOMETHING PERSONAL INTO SOMETHING YOU WANTED TO SHARE PUBLICLY?

I was never really fixed on poetry to start off with. It was more storytelling. I grew up with MTV playing in the background, and I was obsessed with rap, with cyphers, with wordplay — how people could build whole worlds with such limited space through language.

At one point I wanted to be a rapper, but I could never catch the beat — I just had too much to say. So I went back to just the words, and from there my relationship with writing really grew.

I started writing when I was about eleven. At the time it felt quite uncool, so it stayed personal — more like documentation. But as I got older, I realised I was writing about political realities around me, growing up in an immigrant household, and I started to feel like it was too important to keep to myself. If I really believed in what I was saying, it couldn’t just live and die with me.

The turning point was a workshop with the poet Joelle Taylor. I brought a folder with everything I’d ever written, read some of it out, and she invited me to perform in London. It was just me, my mum, and half my English department on a train, and I remember getting on stage and thinking, this is it.

From there it kind of snowballed — I did a poetry slam at the Roundhouse after sixth form, ended up winning it, and then eventually came back on a residency. I’ve been freelancing for the last couple of years now, which still feels a bit mad.

A LOT OF YOUR WORK PULLS MEANING OUT OF REALLY EVERYDAY MOMENTS — SMALL GESTURES, GIVING UP YOUR SEAT ON THE TUBE — WHAT DRAWS YOU TO THOSE KINDS OF DETAILS?

I think it comes from that idea that everything is poetry. You just have to take a moment to see it. It’s the art of noticing.

I always describe it as grabbing a moment and holding it up to the light. Even something like giving up your seat — most people have done it and don’t think anything of it, but when you actually look at it, it becomes this really beautiful, compassionate act.

I think I’m trying to remind people how similar we are. We spend so much time thinking what we’re going through is completely unique, but really we’re all living very similar lives. Everyone wants to feel part of something bigger, and sometimes you just need reminding that you already are.

DO YOU SEE YOUR WORK AS DOCUMENTING BEHAVIOUR, OR QUIETLY CHALLENGING IT?

I’d say it’s a bit of both, but probably more the latter.

A lot of the time, I’m writing from a place of urgency — like, everyone stop what you’re doing and listen. Let’s acknowledge what’s actually happening.

I’m not really interested in sitting with something for ages and perfecting it in a traditional sense. Sometimes it just feels like the sky is on fire, and I want people to hear what I have to say right now.

Of course, people might look back on it later as a reflection of the time, but for me it’s about the present — bearing witness to what’s happening and making people aware of it.

YOU’VE ASKED A REALLY INTERESTING QUESTION IN ANOTHER INTERVIEW — “WHY DO WE NEED OTHER PEOPLE TO TELL US WHAT WE’RE FEELING?” — DO YOU THINK POETRY SHOULD BE SOMETHING EVERYONE DOES, RATHER THAN SOMETHING A FEW PEOPLE PURSUE PROFESSIONALLY?

I still hold that belief. I think we often see it as the doers and the feelers, as if there’s a special group of people responsible for capturing all of the world’s feelings and turning them into something we can consume, whether that’s music, poetry, painting, or whatever else.

But I don’t think that should be the case. Poetry is for everyone, and it’s one of the few times in life where you don’t have to ask for permission to say things or think things. You don’t have to wait for anyone to tell you that you’re allowed to feel something, or allowed to question something.

You can just grab the closest pen and write. Even if you don’t write it down, you’re still speaking to yourself. You’re bearing witness to something and saying, this deserves to be archived, remembered or reflected on.

People say nothing in life is free, but the thought, the noticing, that is free. Even though I call myself a poet, I don’t think that separates me from “non-poets”. I don’t really think there are non-poets. It’s not a title or a role as much as it’s an act. I wouldn’t want someone to think, “Well, she’s the poet, so I’ll just listen.” We’re all constantly doing the act.

So yes, I think we need to stop relying on other people for our feelings and take control of that ourselves.

POETRY CAN SOMETIMES FEEL QUITE CLOSED OFF OR ACADEMIC TO PEOPLE, BUT YOUR WORK FEELS VERY ACCESSIBLE — IS THAT SOMETHING YOU’RE CONSCIOUS OF WHEN YOU’RE WRITING?

Yeah, definitely. I have a line in one of my poems that’s something like, “Who’s to say the revolution will be spoken in your jargon tongue anyway?”

For me, the function of poetry is to reach as many people as possible. Why would I want to put limitations on that just to show off my vocabulary, or prove I can use certain language techniques? It’s not a way of showing how educated I think I am. My priority is trying to connect to as many people as possible.

I think that happens through those everyday moments we look past. Those are the moments where people can say, “Actually, I do see myself in that.”

Our first introduction to poetry is often through school, and the GCSE anthology has given poetry a terrible reputation. People hold a grudge against it for years. They still shudder when they hear the word poetry.

I think we need to undo that. I’m trying to save poetry’s reputation a bit. In school, poetry can feel like this fixed document, like it’s written in stone and you can’t really do much to it. But really, it’s more like a Google document. It’s a live thing being edited as we speak. It’s breathable, it’s moving constantly, it has its own heartbeat. It’s alive, and it’s not written in stone. It’s supposed to be fluid.

YOU MENTIONED WORKING IN SCHOOLS — HOW IMPORTANT IS IT THAT YOUNG PEOPLE ARE GIVEN ACCESS TO POETRY BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL CANON, ESPECIALLY POETRY THAT SPEAKS FROM DECOLONIAL PERSPECTIVES?

It’s so important. I actually have a poem I performed at a GCSE conference, and I started it with: “William Wordsworth ain’t worth my words if the kids don’t know what their words are worth.”

Then it goes on from there, and the students go crazy because they understand what it’s saying. It’s in slang, but it’s still poetry.

I do think everything is a political act: what we see, what we don’t see, the voices that are platformed and the voices that are silenced. The poetry we’re shown is so often overrepresented by old white men talking about duchesses and colonial expansion. The writing might be beautiful, but if the kids can’t see themselves in it, they’re not going to connect. There are no stakes in it for them.

Poetry has been around since people learned how to communicate with each other. In collective cultures, in the global south, oral storytelling and oral history is poetry. It has always been there and always will be there.

When people talk about Wordsworth, I always think the real poets, in every generation, are the people in town centres on soapboxes being called crazy, saying, “Listen to what I have to say. This is what’s going on with the world.”

I’d call myself a soapbox poet. I want to be the town’s crazy person yelling into the sky, beating my chest at the world, saying: this is what’s happening.

The curriculum has introduced some reforms and more modern poetry, so there is work being done, but I still think there’s a lot more to do.

CAN YOU TELL ME A BIT ABOUT THE PIECE YOU’VE CREATED FOR UNCLE AND WHAT YOU WANTED IT TO SAY?

The poem is after Zoe Leonard’s I Want a President. It’s built around that idea of, “I want a candidate who…” and then it goes from there.

I live in Milton Keynes, in quite a diverse neighbourhood, and I had a Reform candidate knock on my door. I just thought, this is hilarious. Absolutely hilarious.

It made me think that we need to raise our standards. With anything else, whether it’s doctors, electricians or engineers, we want the best because we know quality matters. But when it comes to politicians, we settle for so much. We concede so much. We need to want better for ourselves and our communities.

So the poem essentially lists the type of candidate I want to see. There are lines like, “I want a gold tooth smile for a candidate,” or “I want a grieving mother for a candidate,” or “I want a candidate who knows how costly their words are,” and “a candidate who has felt the cold of concrete.”

I want someone I can relate to. Whether or not that’s realistic doesn’t really matter. I’m not concerned with realism. I’m concerned with getting people to question the type of candidate they want to see, and whether that is actually reflected in what’s on the ballot.

I’m keen to see how people react to it, and hopefully it starts a conversation about what we ask for as electorates.

WITH THE LOCAL ELECTIONS IN MIND, DO YOU THINK THERE’S SOMETHING POWERFUL ABOUT FOCUSING ON WHAT’S HAPPENING AROUND YOU — IN YOUR IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT — RATHER THAN ALWAYS THINKING NATIONALLY OR GLOBALLY?

One hundred percent. I don’t necessarily believe the current electoral system is going to bring about some kind of utopia, but local elections are about tangible, everyday, material changes that really affect people.

I think it’s important to have a say in the things you can actually reach your hand out and touch and feel. Some people might argue that it’s even more important than a wider national election, because you will very much feel the impact of how you vote. It’s closer to home.

YOU’RE NIGERIAN, BORN IN IRELAND, AND HAVE LIVED IN MILTON KEYNES. HOW DOES EACH PLACE INFLUENCE OR INSPIRE YOUR WORK?

Being born to Nigerian parents has influenced not only my work, but my sense of self. I think the first and probably last time I was in Nigeria, I was less than one year old, so I don’t have any real memories of it. But my parents did their best to pack as much culture and tradition as they could into this 25kg luggage and bring it to Ireland with them.

They built Nigeria in our living room, so I’ve always had a close connection to the culture and my roots. I don’t feel like a stranger in that part of my identity.

Then being born and raised in Dublin was my formative years. It’s my friends, my family, and even my accent. I’ve been in the UK for eleven years now and you can still hear bits of it.

Politically, I think my Irish and Nigerian identities work hand in hand. Ireland has often tried to stand up against injustice because of its own history, and Nigeria has also experienced British Empire. That same Babylon reared its ugly face in both parts of the world, so those identities feel very similar to me in that sense.

With Milton Keynes, people always ask, why Milton Keynes? And honestly, my mum chose here. But I really like it. It’s so fresh and new. It’s only about sixty years old, and you can tell it was so intentional. Even when you look at the map, with the grids, it feels a bit like Barbie’s dollhouse sometimes, because everything is so planned.

But I think it’s beautiful. It’s very green, it’s malleable, and now it’s a city. I feel oddly patriotic about it. Londoners think anything outside London is just farmland, but I’ll defend Milton Keynes to the end.

I see myself in it, honestly. It’s still growing and I’m still growing. I’ve worked a lot with the council there, and I’m trying to do my part in moulding Milton Keynes into the city I want to see. That’s such a cool thing, because who can say they’re actually helping to mould their city?

LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT DO YOU WANT MORE OF — EITHER IN YOUR OWN WORK, OR IN THE WIDER POETRY SPACE?

I think it’s already on its way, in terms of poetry becoming more mainstream. I recently performed at the Roundhouse, and we claimed it was the largest poetry event in the world. It was 1,500 people in the audience, so maybe it was — I need to check that.

I love that poetry is on big stages, but I don’t want it to become a one-sided conversation. Poetry should be an equal exchange. I don’t want to be put on a pedestal, or on a platform, and just talk down to people.

I’d love more people to engage with it, not just as audience members, but as mutual givers and receivers. I want people to really give it a try, and share more. I want poetry to feel as normal as singing in the shower — something everyday. Like, of course I’ll write a poem on my way to work.

For my own work, I think I’m already doing a lot of what I wanted to do, so everything else is kind of a bonus. Being freelance means I don’t really answer to anyone, and there aren’t the same limitations on what I can say. I get to use my politics degree in the purest form, rather than going down the traditional route into the civil service or something like that.

I think I’ll probably get more political, and I’d like poetry to become more mainstream in that way too. I want it to feel normal to have these conversations over dinner, or in the classroom.

WHAT DO YOU HOPE PEOPLE TAKE AWAY FROM THIS WORK — WHETHER THAT’S THE POEM ITSELF OR THE WIDER COLLABORATION?

I’d just emphasise dreaming bigger. Don’t be confined to the terrible standards we’ve given ourselves.

You can actually aspire for a better candidate, a better world, and better communities.

And obviously, go out and vote.

Work05.2605.26Massive Attack x Tom Waits: Boots on the Ground

Back to work

When the world tilted, Bristol’s iconic duo refused to watch from the sidelines; they mobilised. Massive Attack released “Boots on the Ground” a sharp single featuring the unmistakable, gravelly tones of Tom Waits. The track served as a direct critique of Western militarism and a growing sense of global disillusionment.

To drive the point home, UNCLE took to the streets of Bristol, Manchester and London, through a bold 4-sheet poster campaign. Massive Attack saw the political climate and pasted their protest across the nation’s walls.

Work04.2604.26Fred Perry

Back to work

From the grass of Wimbledon to the pulse of Berlin, Fred Perry has evolved into the definitive bridge between two worlds. This campaign marks the total fusion of sportswear and streetwear, tailored for those who trade the court for the city streets with effortless precision.

UNCLE has now stamped this transition across the capital, using city banners and A1 posters to claim the space. The TENNIS BOMBER and the TRACK JACKET lead the way, proving that the shift from sportswear to streetwear isn’t a trend – it’s a takeover. It is sharp, British, and perfectly at home in the Berlin streets.

Work04.2604.26Morphe

Back to work

Morphe, the beauty brand created for creators, redefined the horizon. They captured a Los Angeles sunset to mark the debut of Cheek Thrills Bronze & Tone Duos, dragging that warmth across the Atlantic.

UNCLE mirrored this glow through the streets of London and Manchester. Strategic 4-sheet campaigns turned grey streets into a sun-soaked world, bringing West Coast heat into the British cities.

Work04.2604.26Antler

Back to work

Antler didn’t just open a door on Regent Street. Before the flagship store’s ribbon was cut, a new monogram claimed the city.

UNCLE executed a flyposting campaign across London, saturating the streets with 4-sheets, megasites and B1 blocks.

The interlocking geometry signalled a pivot from traditional luggage maker to curator. By the time the doors opened, the silhouette felt like part of the architecture.

Antler didn’t ask for space; through the streets, they simply took it.

Work04.2604.26Sofa Club

Back to work

Give your lounge the runway it deserves.

Since 2012, Sofa Club has redefined furniture. Sharp silhouettes, fashion-first, and accessible high-end style. Beyond furnishing spaces; they dresse them.

For their latest London takeover with UNCLE, city walls were too small. From Soho to Shoreditch, megasites, 4-sheets and raw flyposting literally “opened up”; spilling fully-styled lounges onto the concrete.
By shattering the fourth wall via B2s and paste ups, they created a hyper-real moment that forced Londoners to stop, stare and realise that the street offered a luxury their commute never could.

Work04.2604.26Boards of Canada

Back to work

The radio silence from Boards of Canada just took a high-voltage hit. This wasn’t about digital leaks; it was a coordinated, physical takeover. Across London and Manchester, the walls began bleeding codes that only the initiated could decode.

With Warp Records fuelling the hype and UNCLE executing, the streets became a haunting playground. The campaign deployed 3,000 B2 posters, surgical 4-sheet strikes, and massive paste-up blocks. Reddit melted down as the evidence mounted: the Sandison brothers didn’t just return—they reclaimed the frequency. The cult is officially back.

Work04.2604.26FARMER J

Back to work

Forget the grey; Farmer J just dropped a neon-soaked dose of vitamins onto the streets. To celebrate their new lineup of speciality iced drinks, they took the field to the city. From the creamy hit of Mango + Coconut Matcha to the sharp kick of Matcha + Yuzu Fizz, the new menu is a total liquid takeover.

UNCLE saturated East London with a high-energy campaign, deploying 4-sheets and 4-sheet blocks. It was a surge of pure colour injected directly into the street.

East London never tasted so fresh.

Work04.2604.26Yeet x Hoka

Back to work

London didn’t just run; it took over. Yeet and Hoka collided in the heart of Shoreditch to prep the city for the marathon grind.

This wasn’t about a casual warm-up, it was about high-octane performance meeting East London’s relentless edge. 4 Chance St became the ultimate hub for those ready to outrun the noise.

To signal the takeover, UNCLE hit the streets with high-impact 4-sheet and 4-sheet blocks, ensuring the “Get Race Ready” call was impossible to miss.

No fluff, no excuses – just pure momentum for the chase.

Work04.2604.26Tink: F**k, Marry, Kill

Back to work

Forget the playground rules. Tink returned, turning “F**k, Marry, Kill” nostalgia into a reality check.

Her latest drop wasn’t just music; it was a masterclass in modern R&B storytelling. Tink dissected how we recklessly sort our lovers like school games – messy, blurred boundaries, and usually fuelled by a stiff drink. It was sharp, provocative, and unapologetically raw.

To match that energy, UNCLE took over the London streets, plastering the city with high-impact B2 blocks. Tink didn’t just play the game; she broke it.

Work04.2604.26Myley Cyrus: Younger You

Back to work

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Hannah Montana, Miley Cyrus delivered a fearless love letter to her roots. With “Younger You”, she isn’t just remembering; she’s reclaiming. It’s a visceral stripping of the pop veneer, traded for disarming authenticity.

Across London, UNCLE turned the streets into a raw scrapbook. No glossy campaigns here, just B2 posters acting as gritty, street-level echoes for the fans who grew up with her. This isn’t just a track; it’s a defiant reconciliation.

Work04.2604.26Stubble & Co

Back to work

Stubble & Co dropped the new Motion Backpack 20L: the new model delivering comfort, breathability, and versatility for every journey. It was engineered to move with you, built to kill the bounce while you owned the streets.

The Motion 20L was hammered onto the grit of Soho via raw paste-ups and anchored to the B2 blocks of Battersea. From Borough to the 4-sheets of the West End, the bag was plastered across every street corner, claiming the urban sprawl as its own territory.

Work04.2604.26The Rolling Stones: The Cockroaches

Back to work

London was infested, and for once, no one complained. Neon pink posters bled into the city’s cracks, screaming one name: The Cockroaches.

UNCLE flooded the streets with B1 formats, sparking a viral fever dream. While the Stones often say “you can’t always get what you want,” eagle-eyed fans knew the game. A QR code warped commuters into a gritty 70s bedroom where a clock ticked toward April 11, 2026. With Ronnie Wood already hinting at a new release, the mystery turned into a global roar.
The Stones reclaimed their territory, and London was officially hooked.

Work04.2604.26REFY

REFY, the experts in simplifying beauty, marked a major milestone with their first physical launch at the iconic Space NK. To announce their arrival across the UK and Ireland, UNCLE staged a total takeover.

UNCLE transformed the streets of London, flooding the capital with a striking minimalist aesthetic that landed like a shock to the system. Raw B2 blocks and 4-sheet takeovers dominated the urban landscape, scaling REFY’s “less is more” manifesto across the entire city.

The first move was made. London belonged to REFY.

Charley Crockett is no stranger to the shadows. With Age of the Ram, the Texan drifter rides into London to close out his legendary Sagebrush Trilogy. It’s a record for the loners, the outlaws, and the ones making a dollar a day just outside the law.

UNCLE backed the release with a flyposting takeover, plastering the album’s outlaw spirit across East and West London. No polished billboards—just raw paper on walls, mirroring the soul of the record.
The trilogy is complete.
The Age of the Ram is now.

Work04.2604.26REPRESENT

REPRESENT remained the undisputed heavyweight of British luxury streetwear, a brand forged in the relentless hustle of the UK underground.

For the launch of PRE-SS26, they partnered with UNCLE to reclaim the streets with a 4-sheet guerrilla blitz across the walls of Manchester and the concrete arteries of London. It was a hostile takeover – pairing bold silhouettes with the unapologetic energy of outdoor flyposting.
Just proper British grit, pasted where it mattered most.

Work04.2604.26VARLEY

Back to work

March landed – the city moved differently. VARLEY’s “For Every Step” hit the streets. Retro runners, sharp court silhouettes – built for motion, made to be seen. Precision design met effortless defiance. Every pair was tuned for the everyday, without compromise.

A total street takeover. Across the city, massive UNCLE B1 flyposting blocks stood bold. UNCLE gave it to the streets.

Work04.2604.26PAUL MCCARTNEY: THE BOYS OF DUNGEON LANE

Back to work

Five years of silence – over. Paul turned the lens inward, unlocking formative memories and untold stories that built his legacy. The Boys of Dungeon Lane lands May 29: raw, intimate, and alive with newly sparked love songs.

In a massive street-level tribute, UNCLE seized control of Liverpool and London, flooding the streets with an intensive 4-sheet takeover. Even before Paul’s first mention—IYKYK—the landscape had transformed. From the docks to the West End, every wall stood as a silent testament to his most personal story yet.

Work04.2604.26K18

Back to work

The rules of haircare weren’t being rewritten in a lab—they were being plastered across the concrete. Partnering with UNCLE for a heavy-duty tactical strike, K18 seized control of London and Manchester with a high-impact flyposting blitz.

Commanding the streetscape with 4-sheet citywide and block formats, every wall was hijacked to announce something BIG: a chance for a radical, long-lasting blonde transformation. UNCLE brought the grit; K18 brought the science. Both cities were officially saturated.

Forget Regency decorum.
Eggslut hijacks the language of forbidden desire. ‘Egg Yearning’ flips classic romance on its head—swapping breathless longing for an unapologetic obsession with breakfast. Corsets out, brioche in.

Inspired by the internet’s obsession with raw intensity, the brand hit up London streets with UNCLE, plastering B2 flyposting blocks across the city—turning street grit into a gallery of pure craving. No restraint. Just subversive indulgence.

Same song. Different mix. For NYC Fragrance Week, D.S. & DURGA took their 2015 cult classic out of the bottle and onto the streets.

Debaser in Bloom turns up the volume—“hot, humid, sexy” fig collides with white gardenia and the metallic bite of cassette nostalgia. No boutiques, no restraint. With UNCLE, the launch hit the streets in a surge of XL flyposting and B2 blocks, flooding New York in full force.

This March, Napapijri took that manifesto to the streets with UNCLE, taking over West London with B1 and 4-sheet flyposting to spotlight fashion disrupter Julia Sarr-Jamois and the legendary Vinnie Jones.

No polish, just pure cultural grit.

Work03.2604.26Niall Horan: Dinner Party

The Anti-Burnout Takeover

As INORA launched its new solution to modern stress during London Fashion Week, UNCLE took the antidote straight to the source of the chaos. Engineered for the high-performance rituals of the women who run the city, this liquid energy was injected into the daily flow of workout classes, iced coffees, and business lunches.

Through high-impact 4-sheet flyposting and storefront takeovers, we cut through the London noise. From the high-pressure grid of the City to the creative hubs of the East, we turned weathered, graffiti-strewn walls into a direct portal to the INORA universe.

“It’s Pink Now”

Moving away from its signature monochrome tone, Nothing Tech celebrated the launch of the Phone (4a) pink with a splash (of paint).

The deliberate shake-up is in response to the sameness across modern tech, expressing themselves in an industry of aluminium and glass.

Like the phones, UNCLE brought a celebration of nostalgia, fun and optimism to the streets of London. The black and white 4 sheets were used as the canvas for pink graffiti, creating a moment in the city that challenged the industry’s status quo.

Previewed at London Fashion Week, the second collaboration between KSENIASCHNAIDER and Lee Cooper combines the Ukrainian designers’ avant-garde, up-cycled aesthetic with the heritage denim brand.

With roots in workwear and durability, Lee Cooper is the Original British Denim brand, making a perfect partnership with KSENIASCHAIDER’s sustainable, experimental ethos. The collection merges classic denim forward for a new generation.

To introduce the collection at London Fashion Week, UNCLE brought 4-sheets to the heart of Soho. With bold, cropped portraits, London streets throughout the festival radiate the collection’s fusion of craftsmanship and innovation.

Australian beer brand Foster’s is encouraging British men to say ‘Love you’ to their friends with sweary can gifts, because “proper mates don’t use proper names”.

With 4 sheet blocks, UNCLE brought the campaign to London – where “all the bros affectionately known as Richard Head” could show they care about their mates.

Featured in Campaign Magazine’s creative highlights.

Work02.2602.26Studio Nicholson

Back to work

Rooted in architectural precision and inspired equally by Japanese minimalism and the urban environment, Studio Nicholson creates clothing that sit comfortably at the intersection of function and material intelligence.

UNCLE helped translate their refined ethos from their Spring 26 lookbook into poster form. Rolling out takeovers that echoed the brand’s minimalist language, as well as paste-ups for larger impact, the campaign let repetition and restraint do the work.

Work02.2602.26Boiler Room: Basement Jaxx

Back to work

So, where is your head at?

Boiler Room recently announced a daytime open-air festival at London’s Burgess Park with the legendary English duo, Basement Jaxx.

UNCLE worked with Boiler Room to mark the occasion with a takeover of London’s streets. Large posters read “WHERE’S YOUR HEAD AT?” – a nod to the 2001 era-defining anthem – and were placed alongside imagery of the iconic monkey from the music video. The result was a campaign that stopped passersby in their tracks and pulled them straight into the energy of a noughties nightclub.

A quarter-century since their debut, Gorillaz are still moving faster than the culture. To celebrate their new album The Mountain – a vibrant, Indian-inspired ode to life – UNCLE brought Hewlett and Albarn’s latest vision to the streets.

UNCLE flooded the streets of London and Manchester, cutting through the noise with a heavy-duty spread of B2s and 4-sheets.

Twenty-five years on, and the Gorillaz fire is still prolific. This wasn’t just a campaign; it was a homecoming for the legends.

Kneecap: Fenian

This is a reclamation, Kneecap style. Named after a term heavy with historical weight and misinterpretation, the Irish trio’s next album, Fenian, is challenging the outsiders’ definitions and flipping them back on the storytellers.

UNCLE helped with the rollout of the album in two distinct phases. The first leaned hard into language and context, pasting oversized definitions that reframed a loaded word on the street. The second phase revealed the album artwork: bold and unmistakably Kneecap.

Thirty years on from the original HELP compilation, War Child’s new release brings together some of the biggest names in music.

Back in 1995, War Child brought together some of the biggest names in music to record an album in one day. The result, HELP, raised over a million pounds for the charity, which had been set up to support children caught up in the Bosnian conflict. Fast forward to 2021 and a label, War Child Records, was set up to re-release four albums released by the charity between 2002 and 2009.

Each album saw artists covering beloved records, collaborating with other artists, or donating new songs. 1 Love was released in 2002 with a track list that included Sugababes and The Prodigy (the latter remaking The Specials’ ‘Ghost Town’). The following year saw Hope released, in response to the Iraq War, with exclusive tracks and covers from the likes of George Michael, Spiritualized, Beth Orton and Yusuf Islam. 2005’s Help! A Day in the Life celebrated the tenth anniversary of the original and in 2009, War Child Presents Heroes had a collaboration between Lily Allen and Mick Jones from The Clash and covers from Beck, Estelle and Franz Ferdinand.

Now, HELP(2) is poised to repeat that success. Recorded over one intense week at Abbey Road Studios in November last year and executive produced by James Ford, the project was unveiled via the surprise release of a brand-new Arctic Monkeys track. Alongside original recordings, the album features a run of standout covers, including Olivia Rodrigo’s take on ‘The Book of Love’ and Fontaines D.C.’s powerful reimagining of Sinéad O’Connor’s ‘Black Boys on Mopeds’.

Additionally, there’s an all-star band pulled together by Damon Albarn. Alongside vocals from Kae Tempest and Grian Chatten, ‘Flags’ also features Johnny Marr on guitar, Adrian Utley from Portishead, Dave Okumu of The Invisible, Seye from Gorillaz and Ezra Collective drummer and bandleader Femi Koleoso.

It was collaborative in every sense of the word. “They were in the studio for two days,” recalls War Child’s head of music, Rich Clarke. “First day, Damon decided he’d really like to incorporate a children’s choir. The A&R team hastily found two children’s choirs and they took the second day to record it. Then on the second day he decided it would be amazing to have an adult choir as well. The call went out, and we had all of Pulp come in, and all of English Teacher. Carl Barât, Marika Hackman, Declan McKenna, Let’s Eat Grandma. Everyone mucked in.”

Money raised from HELP(2) will go to War Child’s work in 14 counties, where they partner with local organisations to provide emergency support, protection and care, education and community support during and in the aftermath of conflict. It also offers a sunny moment in otherwise unrelenting realities.

“For last few years, taking the Ukraine conflict as a starting point, the news has been saturated with violence,” says Rich Clarke. “We didn’t think there’d be war in Europe again, possibly in our lifetimes. The situation in Gaza. Sudan is finally making it into the news and that’s the largest humanitarian crisis in the world right now. There’s a feeling of helplessness, generally. This felt like a positive project people could lean into.” It’s certainly necessary: around 520 million children are affected by conflict, roughly double the number thirty years ago.

HELP(2) visuals were led by Academy Award-winning director Jonathan Glazer and frequent collaborator Mica Levi, and the album artwork is now visible across London on poster and billboard sites donated by BUILDHOLLYWOOD and UNCLE. “I’m going to cycle down Camden Road on the way home, take a pic, pop it on my Instagram,” says Clarke. “Doing it as a billboard is a real ‘wow, it’s real!’ moment. That’s the picture you send your mum, isn’t it? It hits harder than forwarding the PDF file.”

What is it about bringing together artists, for special recording sessions, that works so well for War Child?
There’s heritage and trust. The creative lynchpin of everything is producer James Ford, and this record is a reflection of the collective spirit of the music industry. James is in a current battle with leukaemia, which he came down with a couple of months after agreeing to do this. The original idea was very different – working very closely with each and every artist in the studio but that wasn’t possible. He did the production remotely and a lot of other producers, engineers and mixers stepped up and filled in: David Wrench, Marta Salongi, Catherine Marks. It was a collective spirit, for James and for the cause.

The Arctic Monkeys track ‘Opening Night’ had eight million streams within a few days of release. What else can you tell us about the music?
We had a real coup getting Cameron Winter at a point when Geese have gone absolutely stratospheric. There’s a Depeche Mode cover of a track called ‘Universal Soldier’ which is a folk song Donovan made famous. They’ve done a full Depeche industrial makeover of it and it punches quite hard.

What are the musical links between HELP from 1995 and HELP (2)?
There’s a narrative that weaves through from then to now. Beth Gibbons comes back and does a cover of Velvet Underground’s ‘Sunday Morning’. Graham Coxon plays guitar on the Olivia Rodrigo track and he’s on English Teachers’ track. Damon Albarn’s back. Pulp weren’t on the original, but the original was nominated for the Mercury Prize the year after it was released. Pulp won, for Different Class, but they said HELP should have won and donated the prize money to War Child.

Another link between then and now is the role of billboards in spreading the word…
Billboards are consumed the same way as ’95 – it’s what you see from the top deck of the bus – but it’s used differently. Back then you’d tell your mates when you got to work but now it’ll be straight up on whatever platforms people use. I love some of the creativity you see around billboards, like when they go beyond the frame or become an art piece. It’s always nice to see something you don’t expect. There aren’t that many nice surprises in life now, so it’s good to see something that makes you stop and look. So, I hope people stop and look and scan the QR code.

The idea behind the visual world of the album is ‘by children, for children’. How did that work in the studio?
We will always represent children in a dignified and empowering way and we would never use imagery that shows injury or trauma. The scene on the album cover captures a moment of transcendence and escape for the boy running through the water. It does show that brutality of war but there are moments of incredible lightness that celebrate childhood. It’s unbridled happiness: the joy, the light, everything. The cover and creative direction for the project was by Academy Award Winner Jonathan Glazer. Academy Films built on that, giving eight- and nine-year-old children handheld cameras, to film the artists recording. You can see what’s happening in the studio through the eyes of a child.

How did this work with the children who contributed remotely?
We worked with Academy Films to get crews out to Gaza, Yemen and Sudan, where handheld cameras were given out to children. They filmed their peers just being children. They run, jump, play, climb, laugh, fall over, drop the camera. It’s deeply moving, but positive and empowering. It humanises conflict; it’s not far away or distant. Childhood is universal.

Are there any plans to record artists from conflict zones?
It’s something we’ve explored in the past. We’ve worked with musicians around Kinshasa in the DRC and there’s been a talk of a musical exchange with our programmes in Jordan and Lebanon. There’s a desire to do it but we just haven’t found the right way. A lot of musicians here are from backgrounds in the conflict countries we work in, so we’re always really keen to link that up; to tell that story, to shine a light. We’re in 14 countries and only a few are on the news agenda.

It’s easy to imagine that charity sits in a different place to culture. I think that’s a false binary. Is this something that War Child thinks about?
The first seeds of change often come from culture: art, theatre, music. That’s the first form of protest often, the first form of reaction. Culture and charity seek change, serve a purpose, and to make a difference.

Are there challenges in being vocal and active about conflict even when you’re just focusing on children’s experience?
Yes. It is and it isn’t. Like every charitable organisation, we’re politically neutral. There are challenges with some of the more politicised conflicts. Ultimately children are always the innocent victims of war. War is waged for many different reasons and different agendas and we do our best to navigate it.

The track list for HELP in 1995 wasn’t printed on the inlay because there wasn’t time between recording and release. What else has gone down in your organisational history about that time?
The challenge and the excitement of getting in there and laying down in a single day. Two of the artists were The Stone Roses and Stereo MCs – I think it took them five years and eight years respectively to make their second albums. In 1995 the logistical piece was massive: to record it in the day and have it in the shops five days later. There are stories of private jets, tapes missing ferries – somehow it all got together. It went to print on the artwork before Eno who mastered the album had finished sequencing. There’s no track list on the vinyl this time either, for a similar reason. There was an artwork production deadline – but it’s also an homage to the original. We put a sticker on the front this time.

Back to work

Goldwin

Goldwin arrived in Europe by putting London at the centre of the frame. To mark the opening of its European flagship in Soho, the brand took over the streets around it with a minimal, stripped-back flyposting campaign that mirrored the precision of the product itself.

Running across 4 sheets and 4 sheet blocks, the work featured pared-back studio imagery of groups and individuals styled in Goldwin outerwear, overlaid with the line “Come Together, London.” The repetition of creatives and composition built scale, while the calm, functional aesthetic cleanly cut through the visual noise of London. This isn’t Goldwin shouting for attention, but confidently taking their place – courtesy of UNCLE.

Work02.2604.26I-D : 376

Back to work

While the digital world choked on its own algorithms, i-D hit the streets for real for the Spring 2026 launch of The Lore Issue.

To celebrate Issue 376, UNCLE injected a shot of pure adrenaline into London’s arteries with a radical flyposting offensive.

From monumental UA Quads to raw B2 blocks, we saturated the city, spreading the anti-algorithmic culture. This was more than a drop; it was a visual insurrection. In an age of fleeting pixels, we left a heavy mark on the concrete.

Work01.2601.26James Blake: Trying Times

Back to work

James Blake’s new album Trying Times is a meditation on love, isolation and the relentlessness of modern life. Launching on March 13, it is Blake’s first fully independent album – a 12-track body of work that moves “through the comfort of loving and being loved while recognising how fragile that safety can feel” against global anxieties and private doubts.

After Blake teased the album online for 72 hours, UNCLE worked with Virgin Music to do the same, but in the physical world. Featuring stark, type-driven posters with the album and single titles, the campaign mirrors the emotional weight of the forthcoming album and Blake’s comments on modernity.

Work01.2601.26Monica Vinader

Back to work

For its latest campaign, Monica Vinader has tapped English singer/songwriter Sienna Spiro to front the premium jewellery brand. In a series of intimate, performance-led visuals – shot between stillness and sound – the imagery captures Spiro wearing select pieces naturally and comfortably.

Concentrating on West and Central London, UNCLE let the campaign sing out with a flyposting rollout across a mix of small and large formats. Black-and-white, warmed-toned portraits turned city walls into a stage, letting the collaboration speak where London moves most.

Back to work

Morphe: Buttery Blend Brushes

Smooth, spreadable and made to melt in. Morphe’s Butter Blends Brush Collection is here. No hard edges, no heavy-handed claims – just brushes designed to glide.

UNCLE took the launch to the streets, flyposting across London, Manchester and Birmingham. Layered, repeated placements of creamy tones and product imagery let the buttery palette do the talking. This result cut through rough city textures while staying clean and composed for Morphe’s smoothest drop yet.

Harry Styles: Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally.

After nearly four years without a full-length release, Harry Styles has just announced his next project, in monumental fashion. Teasing his long-awaited fourth solo album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally., cryptic billboards and posters began appearing on streets around the world – a sign that, for fans, could only mean one thing.

UNCLE worked with 7stars and Columbia Records as the on-the-ground team helping to bring this moment to life. Across London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and New York, large-format posters featuring crowd imagery and the words “WE BELONG TOGETHER” took over city walls. The result was a global moment of connection and community, meeting Styles’ audience exactly where they move, meet and live.

Work01.2601.26FCUKERS: Ö

Back to work

FCUKERS: Ö

FCUKERS have built a reputation on distortion, disruption, and a refusal to smooth the edges. In anticipation of their recently announced album Ö, UNCLE worked with the band to take their unmatched energy directly onto the streets. Posters were installed throughout East London and then intentionally graffitied as part of the creative itself – reinforcing FCUKERS’ anti-polish attitude and aligning the visuals with the raw immediacy of their sound.

Work01.2601.26A$AP Rocky: DON’T BE DUMB

Back to work

A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb isn’t just a traditional album but rather a fully realised creative universe. It’s a welcome return to old school A$AP, existing within the world of Tim Burton – who helped illustrate the album artwork. Built some 8 years after his last album, the project is an eclectic body of works that encompasses a whole lot of genres, and allows for A$AP’s alter egos to shine. To bring A$AP’s world into physical space, UNCLE translated Burton’s hand-drawn characters and warped visual language onto the streets. Stark DON’T BE DUMB typography sat alongside distorted figures, checkerboarding and colliding into moments that live online and offline.

Work01.2601.26Free AF

Back to work

Free AF

Playful and provocative, Free AF set out to reframe what non-alcoholic culture looks like on the street. Swapping clichés around sobriety for attitude, the brand’s “Get Drink On Life” messaging celebrates moments and experiences without the alcohol. To welcome the range to UK shelves, UNCLE and Excite OOH took the bold AF visual language into the streets. Checkerboard flyposters collided photography, typography and humour, inviting passersby to rethink what “getting drunk” really means.

Work12.2512.25Portal

Back to work

Portal provides clothing for modern explorers to live life with movement. Across running, cycling and hiking, the brand takes inspiration from its founders’ multinational origins – Oslo, Vancouver and London – applying a unifying perspective to outdoor activity. To ensure Londoners are prepared for the cold while still looking good, UNCLE worked with Portal and covered the city in B2 blocks of the brand’s signature Biome jacket.

Work12.2512.25Kneecap: No Comment

Back to work

It’s been an interesting year for Irish rap-trio Kneecap, and it’s not over yet. Addressing the terrorism charge that was brought against band member Mo Chara, “No Comment is all about getting harassed by the British state,” and was made alongside English producer and DJ, Sub Focus. Working with UNCLE, the new single was plastered across the walls of London, with artwork featuring Banksy’s now infamous ‘Royal Courts of Justice’ mural.

Work12.2512.25Marc Jacobs

Back to work

This is the holiday season for Marc Jacobs. Bold colour, tongue-in-cheek styling and a high-gloss attitude. To support the seasonal push, UNCLE and Marc Jacobs rolled out a wildposting campaign across London and Madrid. In both cities, walls were taken over with large-format posters spotlighting the campaign’s signature imagery and the playful chaos of holiday dressing. Each placement was a triptych of the creative stacked side-by-side, helping Marc Jacobs’ holiday world land where it belonged.

Work12.2512.25Tekla

Back to work

With its calm minimalism and tactile comfort, TEKLA’s world has arrived in London. It’s their first UK store, opening on Marylebone High Street. To introduce the space, UNCLE worked with TEKLA to roll out a wildposting campaign that translated the brand’s serene visuals directly onto the streets. Across neighbourhoods in Central London, walls were covered with 4 sheets, showcasing TEKLA’s signature essentials. Each placement paired product photography with the store’s new address, creating a moment of stillness within the city’s visual noise.

Work12.2501.26Vivienne Westwood AW25/26

Back to work

Defined by raw immediacy and a rebellious British spirit, Vivienne Westwood’s AW25/26 campaign has arrived with a defiant elegance. Shot moments after the Paris runway show, the campaign captures the collection’s tension between tradition and play. To introduce the season’s visual world, UNCLE worked with Vivienne Westwood to bring this energy into the streets of London, Paris and New York. Across walls and storefronts, the flyposting campaign mirrored the collection’s push-and-pull of polish and grit which feels unmistakably true to the house.

Work11.2511.25size? x Home Grown

Back to work

Characterised by an evergreen palette, and rooted in everyday grit and an unmistakably home-soil attitude – this is what AW looks like for Home Grown, as seen on size?. Introducing the collection to three cities, UNCLE worked with size? and rolled out a campaign that brought Homegrown’s visual world into the streets. Across London, Manchester, and Paris, walls were pasted with repeated imagery that amplified the two brands’ identities. A monochrome logo acted as an anchor between the three cities, while localised adaptations tied the rollout back to each store – ensuring passersby knew exactly where to find the capsule.

Work11.2511.25RALLY Festival 2026

Back to work

In its three short years, RALLY has proved to be more than just another one-day festival. Built on collaboration and cross-discipline, the festival celebrates London’s underground music and arts communities, with a focus on DIY culture and grassroot movements. Having recently announced their first artist as Blood Orange, a musician synonymous with boundary-pushing sound and emotional depth, UNCLE helped the city of London see RALLY for what it is, and what it stands for.

Work11.2511.25Karma Drinks

Back to work

Good karma tastes great. Every Karma Drink sold powers education, healthcare and sustainability projects for the kola nut growing communities in Sierra Leone. Put simply, they’re a company giving back to where it all begins. To celebrate another year of good karma, UNCLE helped facilitate a flyposting campaign in London that raises a glass for the good that they are doing, year on year.

Work11.2511.25Hip Store: AW25

Work10.2510.25Bar Italia: Some Like It Hot

Back to work

London’s own Bar Italia, returned with Some like It Hot, the trio’s fifth studio album. Its a record that burns with romance, intrigue, self-discovery and rapture – music made for dark rooms and loud streets. Working with Beggars, UNCLE helped announce the album, and world tour of the same name, to the streets of the band’s stomping ground with visuals of the band framed in electric blue – contrasting against the city greys.

Work10.2510.25Timberland

Back to work

For FW25, Timberland marked 50 years of the Original Yellow Boot with Advice of an Icon – a global campaign celebrating heritage, authenticity and the next chapter of street culture. Working with Croud, UNCLE took the campaign to the walls of London, Milan and Paris. Featuring striking portraits of Spike Lee, Skepta and Kiko Mizuhara (three icons who embody the same self-belief that built Timberland) the campaign cut through the city noise with timeless simplicity.

Work10.2510.25Dave: The Boy Who Played the Harp

Back to work

After four years of silence, Dave has just returned with The Boy Who Played The Harp. It’s an introspective comeback for the UK-rapper. Softer in sound yet sharper in message, it’s a story of reflection, growth and mastery, told by the kid who started it all – still searching for harmony in the noise. UNCLE and Neighbourhood Recording made sure the streets were ready for this welcome return with a campaign split over two phases. Phase one showcased the artwork’s poetic visuals, while phase two saw portraits of Dave and the album’s co-collaborators in a campaign that felt more like presence than promotion. A reminder that sometimes the loudest thing in the city is quiet confidence – and no one carries that better than Dave.

Work10.2510.25Armani Exchange: FW25

Back to work

Armani Exchange hit the streets this season with their FW25 collection, capturing the power of pop culture. A clash of classic tailoring with street-level energy. Working with Mediakeys, UNCLE took the campaign out of the studio and into the wild. Across the walls of London, vibrant neons stood against grey facades, turning concrete into canvas for A/X.

Work10.2510.25The Last Dinner Party: Into The Pyre

Mixing gothic romance with raw texture, the posters echoed the record’s themes of chaos, beauty and rebirth.
