The Game of Life.
Hackney, England 2020
In partnership with Hackney Arts, Lily Mixe and Pembury Community Centre♡
"This mural represents the inevitable highs, lows, challenges and joys that we all face as we move through our lives. Referencing the classic game of Snakes and Ladders, the mural shows the differences and similarities in how our individual life journeys will play out and how our decisions will affect the course of action. Considering issues such as financial security, mental health and healthy lifestyles, the mural is a reminder that we have the power to make positive decisions and that we can start over at any time. The mural was created with the help of the young residents of Pembury, many of whom contributed their time and ideas, and learned new skills in the process. This project was generously supported by Stop Loan Sharks, who aim to support residents in their decisions to create financial stability in their lives.”
‘The Game of Life’ by artists Lily Mixe and Billy, in collaboration with Pembury residents (the best local kids) and Hackney Arts.
Big thanks to Pembury Community Centre for all their help and doing what they do.
