The East Dulwich Railway Mural was initiated by Love ED, a group of East Dulwich residents and businesses, and as part of Southwark Council’s High Street Challenge and Cleaner Greener Safer initiative.
This project was applied for with our collective Alphabetics Anonymous, and local gallery Blue Shop Cottage. After achieving a landslide majority of votes, we were the successful candidates chosen to take on the project.
We chose to directly approach the East Dulwich locals to help lead the design process, naming the project “Our Words On Our Walls”. A questionnaire was designed and dispatched to a cross section of residents and businesses, helping inform the messaging and design aspects of the artwork, and ensured the piece expressed the identity of East Dulwich, communicating their feedback and connecting them to their area.
For further information on the design and painting of this project, see our process video, shot and edited by Jimmy Taylor.
The mural was managed and designed by Hana Sunny Studio and Tyler & Co., under the collective Alphabetics Anonymous, and painted with the assistance of fellow Alphabetics members, with permission from Network Rail.
