Creative Connections: London: Tower Hamlets
32 People in sitter grouping:
People in the Gallery's Collection connected to the London borough of Tower Hamlets. The inspiring life stories of eight of these individuals were explored by young people from St Paul's Way Trust School in 2013. Through creative art workshops they undertook research, deconstructed two portraits of each person and then reimaged them in new works which were displayed at the Gallery.
