What can a taxi ride tell you about a city?

Step into the intimate world of Bristol’s cab drivers in The People’s Carriage – a captivating immersive sound and light installation that traces their journeys across the city. Through music, personal narratives, and the varying shades of passenger encounters, this project uncovers Bristol’s many layers, through the voices of those who know it's streets best.

The People’s Carriage is part of Confluence – a long-form residency project. Since December 2023, MAYK has invited artists from across Bristol to explore the changing city and to think about how we navigate these places we call home. Over the next few months three more artists – Howl Yuan, Ramelle Williams and Iman Sultan-West – will also share the fruits of these creative investigations with audiences in sites and locations across the city.
