How street art can be used as a tool for public realm regeneration

In this workshop session, participants will reimagine their streets, learning how to turn blank and grey facades into unique mural artworks. The workshop will help the attendees understand the societal need for distinctive places that truly resonate with the local identity. How we can avoid repetitive urban environments by using creativity to help local communities reconnect and feel proud of their neighbourhood?

After a quick introduction by Global Street Art, Studio PDP will lead a walking tour in the area, explaining strategies for urban realm regeneration and identifying the available walls for installations.

The attendees will then be grouped in teams for our interactive workshop. Guided by world-class street artist, Peter Barber, they’ll each work on reimagining a different wall, using their own creativity.

Post-event, Global Street Art will aim to commission a street artist to paint a mural inspired by the workshop as part of London Mural Festival in September.
