Rosslyn de Souza is an independent contractor in arts-led place making. A long time Fremantle resident, she uses art and creativity to transform spaces and communities. The Street Gallery Concept and the recent Woodsons Arcade “Outside the Box” gallery project demonstrate Ros’s ability to re-imagine and revitalise urban spaces while providing invaluable opportunities for emerging and career artists. A huge fan of Spacemarket and Design Freo, the potential for SHOP HAUS style living is a project close to Ros and Sarah’s vision for inner city Fremantle.

Spacemarket is a Fremantle-based urban renewal organisation that looks to realise value in underutilised spaces. Led by architect Joel Benichou and community development expert Sarah Booth, Spacemarket explores opportunities to creatively fill cities with life. SHOP HAUS has been conceived to provoke thought as to what needs to shift to make ideas like this possible.
