It sought to support engagement and collaboration between leading social artists, local residents and frontline community groups who collaboratively commissioned and created artworks for Peckham’s historic and iconic Rye Lane.
Young people from Southwark’s Youth Justice Service, South London Refugee Association, and Inspire Walworth collaborated with artists including Koby Martin, Tyreis Holder, and Meera Shakti Osborne. Together they explored community, heritage and identity to reconnect to public spaces on their own terms.
This co-commission was made possible with generous funding and support from Southwark Youth Justice Service, Arts Council England, Art Fund, London Borough of Southwark’s Culture Together, Cleaner Greener Safer and Neighbourhoods Fund, United St Saviours, and The Grocers’ Charity.
