We worked with some wonderful artists throughout 2023 to bring large-scale mural pieces to various locations across Leeds, as part of LEEDS 2023.
We’ve been catching up with the artists behind these to find out more about working internationally, developing works on a large scale, and their process.
Hear Rhian Kempadoo-Millar talk about the creation of Reflections of Carnival. Developed in partnership with Leeds West Indian Carnival and Leeds City Council, the artwork celebrates the rich, vibrant history of Leeds West Indian Carnival. It is situated on the gable end of a two-storey house on Savile Mount in Chapeltown, at the heart of the Caribbean and Carnival communities.
