Recycled Teenagers Sutton House Mural (2017)

In the Summer of 2017 I was selected to be the artist in residence at Sutton House, a National Trust Tudor House and the oldest building in Hackney. I lead a series of workshops and created a number of installations relating to the Black, Queer, and Anarchist Histories of the building. Some of the workshops used interactive projections, collage and illustration to allow The Recycled Teenagers (an over 60’s African and Caribbean community group) to create a large mural that now permanently decorates their meeting space in Sutton House. The mural consisted of images that highlighted black subjects in Medieval European art works and histories of black, queer, women’s protest movements relating to anarchism and black liberation.
