During May, June & July I’ve been running workshops in six primary schools in Brixton with the fantastic artist Meera Chauda. This is for the Brixton Primary Schools Mural Design Project for Art on the Underground, inspired by the 1980s Brixton murals. The six schools’ mural designs are now complete and will be shown in Brixton Library in autumn to coincide with the launch of a new artwork by Nigerian-born artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby, the first in a series of mural related Art on the Underground commissions on the billboard as you enter Brixton Tube Station.

The image shows a domino created at the start of one of the workshops, depicting on one side a self-portrait and the other side a favourite place to visit in Brixton. This was a good way to get to know the pupils and then once completed they connected their dominoes together, whilst celebrating their similarities and differences.
