I'm very proud to present Public Art for Good: Education is the key to unlock equality - Each one, teach one.

I was recently given an opportunity by Wild Beasts Art Agency to produce artwork for these billboards in Shoreditch, East London - instead of making them about me, I’ve made them about us 🖤
We all have the ability to learn, to inform and to educate one another in the pursuit of a better and fairer future. To use the lessons of the past to create an active pathway to a better future for us all, no matter what race, gender, ability or socio-economic background you come from.
I’m very aware that two posters may not dramatically change the landscape of the world we live in. However, we cannot rely on tragedy to fuel the important conversations we need to create a more level playing field for all. My hope with this project is to encourage more open dialogue around the inequalities that so much of our communities face. I’d like to promote that big problems can be tackled with many smaller acts. I also hope that this project will prompt others to use their own public projects to inspire positive change in place of vanity projects.
In today’s world we are all interconnected. We are owed the support from each other, our governments, and our institutions to enable us to facilitate the direction of positive change that we want to see - as a community. People and education are our greatest resource and we can achieve superior knowledge and a greater understanding of the world we live in by sharing our diverse experiences.
These boards will be on display until April 18th and you can find a LOT more information and resources by visiting here:
