The Faces of Islington

About

This mural celebrates the ethnic and cultural character of Islington as it has changed over the last century. Through the faces and traditional design patterns of fabrics from all four continents, travel along the timeline which tells the story of settlement in the area.

Beyond depicting the passage of history as grandparents, parents, children and grandchildren share the same space, notice the change in Islington from a predominately Eurocentric community during the 1950s into the ethnically diverse neighbourhood it is today.
