“A Movement Not A Moment” is a mural that honours the Black Lives Matter Movement. It focuses the lens on poignant moments in time, and highlights how people have come together to instigate huge cultural, political and institutional change not just in the UK but globally.

This work showcases those who’ve utilised their platform in turbulent and challenging times, and nods to cultural references that have brought joy in times of darkness. This work is to be a celebration of our rich and vibrant culture as much as it is a reference to the activism, protests and recent events of the BLM movement.

My hope for this piece is simply existing on these walls will encourage the commission of more black art in contemporary art spaces, and opens the door for more young black creatives to do the same.
