Reflections: Co-creating a mural exploring stories associated with water
Through a set of workshops, I facilitated a group of young people aged 18-25 to create a collective artwork exploring map-making, a sense of place and stories associated with the waterways in the local area (the Regents Canal and underground River Fleet).
The artwork was adapted into a mural located next to St Pancras station. I also led the development of a website documenting the programme, featuring the young people’s artwork.

“I enjoyed some of the independence that came with [the project] whilst also collaborating with team members on ideas, tips and visual aesthetic.”
