About

An uplifting exhibition featuring artworks from artists across the world, brought together by @background_bob.

Last autumn Firstsite opened @background_bob and his amazing friends a unique collaboration between a young disabled artist from Essex and 200 prominent street artists from across the world, plus members of the public and key workers.

It caused a sensation, with the show also helping to raise over £100,000 for local charities, when many of the artworks sold in an online auction.

Now, the irrepressible youngster returns with a new show @background_bob and his amazing friends – Guess who’s back! - the title inspired by hip hop legend Eminem’s hit Without Me - with even more contributing artists and more than 200 stunning artworks – created by artists from across the globe - to enjoy at Firstsite in Colchester from 18 September (until 9 January 2022).
