“A Different View”
2025-2026
We are proud to share this beautiful set of co-created murals that we worked on with people at a London based NHS/HMPPS partnership programme.
We spent eight weeks working with the group before we started on the murals, to support a relational approach and increase confidence in art materials, techniques, mediums, content, and colour.
“We’ve built a space,
Of connection and togetherness.
Where we can be ourselves without judgement.
A place of warmth and inspiration,
Of artistic and community liberation.”
Excerpt from group poem.
The poems themes inspired the collaborative mural designs. It was important that the group murals reflected the local community, drew parallels with the changing seasons in nature and their capacity to offer a sense of reset and renewal, celebrated the warmth and connection within the space, and highlighted the truly liberating power of creativity.
“I think what I love the most is that the murals feel as if they have always been part of the space and yet at the same time lift and freshen it like an open window.”
