These portraits and the ones in the Soane’s library in the Manor were taken by the artist @_emcole_ on a visit to @bollobrookyouthcentre. She wanted to represent and give a voice to some of the young people impacted by the changes brought about by the regeneration of South Acton estate, including the moving of the youth centre into a smaller space. The artist took these images of some of the young people she met, saying, “I just want people to see the young people as the beautiful, warm and confident people they are.” Visit Who Are We? at Pitzhanger until 13 February 2022.

What does love mean to you? ❤️ Today we are focusing on the Love Mosaic - one of the artworks created by @bollobrookyouthcentre on display in the our current exhibition: Who Are We? "The concept of love is a complex one - it can bring with it lots of positive images, but can also be the motivation for much destruction. This project was inspired by the increased use of the word love in the youth centre, in particular by young men to each other. The young people were asked to write on a board what they thought love meant to them. The most popular ideas were then selected and images assigned to them. The images were combined to create this ‘shield of arms’ of love." How many of the images can you identify? #WhoAreWe #Pitzhanger #mosaic #love #reflect #loveislove #friendship
