Information
Roxanne’s first collective community mural initially stemmed from a question of how to engage people in social civic change through art. In collaboration with Parents for Palestine and Soanes Centre campaign to Save the Soanes Centre, Roxanne facilitated a workshop based on the writing of Ghassan Kanafani’s The Land of Sad Oranges and artist Ismail Shammout.
The community were encouraged to pick up a paintbrush and add to the mural. Everybody passing through, young and old, added their paint strokes and reflections of the given prompts. This will be the first of many collective community murals.
Roxanne facilitated a community collective mural event at Soanes Centre with Setpoint, an educational charity based in Tower Hamlets that offer a range of STEM workshops for children in the local community. This day was part of a campaign to Saves the Soanes Centre.
A collective collage mural facilitated by Roxanne and her husband for her daughters school Black Culture Event. The collage celebrated black culture and in particular highlighted local black activists that worked for civic change, black people and black womens rights and liberation.
In particular Olive Morris,Leila Hassan-Howe and Darcus Howe.
Children and parents were encouraged to draw/write or collage and engage with black history and culture.
