The point of the project is reconnecting people with each other, their local area, and art
Five young artists have put up striking new works of art in Bankside, as part of a project run by Tate.
The project, called Better Boundaries, was run by business development group Better Bankside alongside the art gallery. Koby Martin, Blk Moody Boi, Zeinab Saleh, Hannah Hill and Megan Visser are the five artists who took part. The works are all large wall or floor images.
The artworks will stay for at least a year in Southwark Street, Gambia Street, St. Felix Place, Canvey Street and Great Suffolk Street.
Great Suffolk Street
The artworks have been installed by Absolutely Studio, an experienced independent art studio specialising in murals, and Conway who provide infrastructure services in the built environment and public realm.
Better Bankside thanks Lee Fitzgerald Architects, Terry’s Café, Omnicom Group and Cardinia Real Estate, Blue Fin Building and Oxford Properties, London Venue Group, Mar I Terra, and the family of Marion Marples, for their permissions to use the selected locations.
