A new mural painted on our Edington Street Production Studios has been revealed. Designed by celebrated Mexican artist and activist, Gustavo Chavez Pavon, it was painted to commemorate the UN Climate Change Conference taking place in Glasgow and raise awareness of rising sea levels.
Approximately 25 local artists assisted Gustavo on the 45 metre mural, which was spearheaded by Rights: Community: Action, an organisation dedicated to tackling the climate emergency. It forms part of The Shorelines Project, a Hull-wide art activism project consisting of a series of installations aiming to highlight the impact climate change will have on cities if nothing is done to prevent flooding. It was delivered by Hull-based company DA Creative Studios.
