Schoolchildren will design sculptures representing hope and celebration as part of a project which will see seven art installations go up around Newham.
Pupils from 14 Newham primaries are involved in the Institute of Imagination’s The Big Build project, led by East Ham artist Anne Harild.
Mayor of Newham Rokhsana Fiaz said: “From young people to elected officials, we are Newham because we are one community. This project will bring focus on exactly what we need this year – hope, community and creativity.”
The workshops start by asking children what hope and celebration means to them, and then the participants put their ideas to paper in creative doodles.
