Illustrator, creative facilitator and mural artist
I was asked by the Rotherham Children's Capital of Culture team to facilitate a mural painting session with a group of female identifying young people in Bramley.
The young people at the group wanted to create an art piece reflecting the challenges of walking by yourself as a woman and represent the anxieties that surround this. Together we created a large mural of a woman walking alone in an alleyway, the participants chose grey scale colours to reflect the fear and unsureness of walking alone. At the Women of the World festival (WOW), the group invited people to add colourful handprints to the mural, showing solidarity with every woman who feels alone and afraid, brightening up the dark alleyway.
