Introducing a new public artwork by Aya Haidar 🎶

Join us Thu 1 Oct for the launch of Aya Haidar’s @iamayahaidar ‘A Love Song for Whitechapel’ – a public artwork created with pupils from Swanlea School and members of the Bow Geezers, drawing on memories and stories gathered from local communities.

The evening includes a conversation with Aya Haidar, a live performance by Tom Carradine, and at 8.15pm, a walk to Whitechapel Market to see the artwork projected.

Book your spot via #LinkInBio.

Curated by @upprojects, commissioned by Tower Hamlets Council.

Public art made with schoolchildren and the local community is exactly how a gallery roots itself in its neighborhood — 'A Love Song for Whitechapel' sounds like a beautiful 1 October launch.
