Some Stories Belong To A Place, Not A Frame. We Tell Them At Full Scale.
POW creates projection-led cultural experiences for museums, heritage sites, festivals, councils and cultural institutions – putting the stories of people and places where everyone can see them, on the landmarks and landscapes that hold the history.
Stories told where they happened
There is a power in telling a story on the building where it belongs – history projected onto the walls that witnessed it, a community’s identity reflected on its own landmarks. Projection lets culture be experienced where it lives: free, public, outdoors and open to everyone who happens to be passing.
That public-first instinct runs through everything POW makes. We came up working in shared spaces, earning attention in the street for the causes with small budgets and big goals – where the only way to be seen was to be impossible to ignore. Cultural work asks for the same thing: a story strong enough to stop people who didn’t come looking for it. We bring that same energy to cultural commissions.

Why POW
- Our team has delivered fully-approved projections in some of the UK’s most protected public spaces – including Westminster-approved work in Trafalgar Square – so we understand what heritage settings demand: sensitivity to the site, rigorous permissions and conservation awareness, as well as content worthy of the building it’s projected on to.
- Cultural work is never a smaller version of commercial work for us – it’s where we started.
FAQ
Usually, yes. Projection is non-invasive – nothing touches or fixes to the fabric of the building, which is why heritage bodies often prefer it to any physical installation. Each site has its own consent route, and we manage that process with the relevant authorities as standard.
Yes. We regularly scope work for councils, institutions and funded programmes, and we’re experienced in shaping ambition to fixed budgets. Tell us the figure and we’ll tell you honestly what it can achieve.
