Hello,
I hope my email finds you well.

My name is Silvia Desheva and I am working for an NGO called MasterPeace. It is a global grassroots peace movement, inviting communities around the world to come together through art.

We believe that art can inspire and lead to social change and help overcoming hostility and intolerance. I am writing to you because we are working on a project, which I hope will be of interest to you.
We are getting in touch to invite you for a very interesting project aiming to celebrate celebrate London diversity, in partnership with the paint company AkzoNobel, empowering a group of artists lead by the prominent artist Siddiqa Juma to create an interactive mural design at the heart of London where the community and public can transform one of its walls into a living masterpiece as part of the Let’s Colour Walls of Connection project.
The wall in London, the United Kingdom is part of the global Let’s Colour Walls of Connection where MasterPeace, AkzoNobel join forces to transform 100 walls in 40 countries into a symbol of connection rather than separation, for Let’s Colour Walls of Connection in London, Siddiqa and crew will be spearheading a wall painted as an English meadow - The meadow - beautiful, lush and green will be interspersed with an array of flowers, depicting a diverse British society, united, beautiful and strong - even in the face of adversity where public are invited to make the design together, one brush at a time.
The wall is located at London's Bankside, which complements to the significance of the mural given that it will be in the London Borough of Southwark near London Bridge and Borough Market, a place that brings diverse people together. This wall will hopefully serve as a beacon of social cohesion and hope to the local Bankside community and its location - near the Globe Theatre and Tate Modern, will also inspire people all over the country and world to fight for justice and peace.

The event will take place on 5th October this Thursday we hope you are able to attend/ cover parts of the event which will be a huge colourful statement from London.

Kind regards,
Silvia
