Fore Street Murals: Vibrant Public Art for Angel Edmonton
Supported by the Mayor's Good Growth Fund, a series of vibrant murals exploring local living heroes and drawing together themes of past, present and future have been created for the Fore Street area.
The aim of these public artworks is to:
- Enhance and celebrate the diversity of the high street
- Change local and external perceptions of the area
- Improve sense of belonging to Angel Edmonton
- Encourage community engagement
Improve health and well-being
Each mural has been created by artists who are local to Enfield or who are from neighbouring boroughs. Albert Agwa (Bud Studios), Hanna Benihoud, Static, Christina Kalinowski (Doodle Designs), Emma Ghafur (Tiger Monkey) worked with local communities and schools in different ways to design and deliver the artworks. For example, Hanna Benihoud asked local residents to describe their happy place, and produced a mural that merged resident's love of the outdoors with home comforts. The mural also contains a floral wallpaper with national flowers representing the cultural diversity of the area. Please see images of the artworks below:
