Together with the local community and residents, Rose Hill a local artist and the Sundial Community Centre will create a large, colourful mural that illustrates Tower Hamlets’ and Hackney's strong community spirit.

How they will do this?

Through a series of 12 FREE workshops, the community and local residents will learn new skills like drawing, painting, and pattern design, which will form the basis of the beautiful community mural which celebrates the character of the area, thereby rejuvenating it.

We are thrilled to say

The Mayor of London made a pledge of the full £5000 it's so fantastic that he and City Hall believe in this project as much as we do!! We’ve had generous donations from Murgitroyd Foundation and London Catalyst as well as the community getting behind this amazing project and fully funding the crowdfunding campaign!!

The money will pay for the project so it will be completely FREE for everyone that takes part, and for art supplies that participants can keep for future art activities making no barrier to entry.

These workshops will form the basis of the co-designed mural. Structured in a way that the community is learning lots of skills but allowing enough time to play and be creative. Being mindful of their capabilities and curating the workshops in a way that everyone will have their say be supported, valued, heard, and proud of what they’ve created.

It will represent the diversity of the culture and heritage of the community including customs, artistic expressions, colours, patterns, and values – remaining a visible daily reminder of their rich heritage for years to come.

This wonderful community based project has really resonated with everyone and there are exciting talks of more projects to come around London - watch this space!

Princess Anne is scheduled to open the mural once it’s finished as long as COVID and schedules still allow.

Rose is so excited to make this happen and look forward to working with our wonderful community!
