Tessa Hunkin's Hackney Mosaic Project

Tessa Hunkin's Hackney Mosaic Project has been responsible for some of the most witty and imaginative mosaics of recent years.
In a bold reinvention of the classical tradition, Tessa has assembled a passionate and diverse team of makers, creating beautiful mosaics that have become cherished landmarks, celebrating community and elevating the streets of East London.
In this illustrated lecture, Tessa tells the story of Hackney Mosaic Project and shows some of the mosaics, ranging from modest pieces in private gardens to expansive murals and pavements in public parks. From its beginnings as a temporary Olympic Celebration in 2012 to its development into a unique community craft workshop Tessa will also explain how the work is created and the development of the ideas behind it.
