About this Event

CHANGING THE NARRATIVE - An Exhibition of Public Artworks.

After the massive success of their 2021 project with Hackney Arts and Hak Baker, artist Hannah Dickins and Hackney youth organisation Rise 365 are coming together again SS23 for another powerful project.

In consultation with Rise.365 founder Joyclen Buffong, Hannah designed and led a series of workshops with the aim of amplifying the voices of the young people of Rise through creativity in order to project their message to a wider audience.

The project's focus is to challenge the perception of young people including the prejudices and injustices experienced- by sharing the unique wisdom, talent, values and creativity of Rise 365.

Hannah has worked with the members of Rise to create artworks that connect and unify people in a positive way with the intention of bringing joy to the streets. The workshops focussed on design, creative writing, typography, lettering and painted type.

Lola Oh (writer, poet and facilitator) also led lively open discussions, which explored subjects including family, community heritage and purpose. The young people had the chance to discuss their beliefs, feelings, expressions and positions in society with Hannah and Lola Oh, and to learn how to turn their ideas into pieces of art.

The workshops were hosted by Acrylicize at their home The Art House, in East London. A fantastic opportunity for the young people to make work in a professional creative space.

These artworks have become pieces of public art that will be displayed on billboards- both poster and digital- around London, enabled by BUILDHOLLYWOOD. The project culminates with a two week public exhibition of their work and this private viewing held in The Art House, Acrylicize, Bethnal Green.
