Youth Mural 2020

During one of the lockdown periods, we worked with artist EVEWRIGHT and 16 young people to design a new mural through online art workshops. Art Eat fundraised and managed this young people's community mural which was co-created and supported by 14 local youth and community organisations in the area. The workshops took place online and by the time we were ready to paint, restrictions had been loosened and this allowed the participants to take part in the painting as well as the design workshops. The project was produced in collaboration with the Ipswich and Colchester Museum Service and featured in the award-winning Power of Stories Exhibition, showcasing a truly collaborative and engaged project. The themes and characters of the Black Panther movie were explored, inspired by some of the costumes from the movie which also featured in the exhibition.
