TEMPLE OF CULTURES
and myself are so delighted to share the final shots of the finished mural. 130 sq over 2 walls on the museum entrance.
It has been an epic 2 weeks, titanic work, and the most beautiful human experience.
This project is born from an inclusion perspective, welcoming asylum seekers & refugees in Carlisle to take part in 3 workshops and contribute to the mural design through patterns, representing their cultures and identities.
The richness of the creation was incredible and my role, as a conductor, was to combine all these beautiful voices into a symphony: the temple of cultures.
This project truly demonstrates how communication and exchange demultiply into beauty.
Finally, the main character of the mural is called Lady Tullie, a made up portrait symbolising ALL of us.
The mural is facing Carlisle’s historical castle, and I feel this is history in the making. Each period of time makes it’s own mark with its own stories. I am so proud to be a part of it.
Carlisle, I ❤️ you x
