Ben Javens at BBC CWR
West Midlands based illustrator, Ben Javens, has re-imagined the Coventry skyline as the Emerald City from the Wizard of Oz books to help launch The Show Windows, a 12 month programme in Coventry city centre and beyond.
The Show Windows, which is produced as part of the Coventry City of Culture programme, is inspired by L Frank Baum (author of the Oz books) and his publication on the art of shop windows displays.
Discover Ben’s illustrations of 'Cov as Oz' around Coventry city centre and in previous UK City of Cultures - Liverpool and Hull from mid May 2021.
The Show Windows is co-produced in Partnership by Coventry City of Culture Trust, Coventry Business Improvement District and RIBA and curated by Charlie Levine. Image credits: Dylan Parrin
