Hackney Mosaic Project

The mosaic project creates large mosaics in and around Hackney with a diverse group of volunteers . Tessa Hunkin, who leads the Project, will tell the story of its origins as a 6 month initiative to celebrate the London Olympics in 2012, and reveal how it has developed over the last 14 years, despite the vicissitudes of scarce funding and threatened premises. She will highlight some of the lessons learned along the way as well as showing the rich variety of the work that the Project has created.
