We are very proud to be part of the Rivers of the World exhibition, hosted on Southbank, London, outside the Tate Modern, as part of the Thames Festival Trust.

This is an exhibition of river themed artwork created by young people around the world, under the guidance of professional artists during the lockdown.

Young people from London, Peterborough, Warrington, Halton, Coventry and Stockton-on-Tees in the UK and Ethiopia, Sudan, Morocco, Tanzania, Lebanon and India have created artworks from their homes under the direction of artists who provided briefs and films to guide their work.

Our students created these pieces throughout lockdown and sent their finished designs to Head of Art Mrs Joice, who then sent them on local artist Kirsty Rae, who digitally incorporated all the designs together to create the final exhibition banner. Mrs Joice says “I am very excited to see the outcome of our students’ artwork. Our students worked really hard over the lockdown period and it is great to see their work celebrated in such a prime location.”
