Graffiti writing project at Tower of London
April 2005
In partnership with the Tower of London we ran a graffiti art project with young people from the Bromley Hall Pupil Referral Unit and the Tower Hamlets Youth Offenders Team. The participants learned about the history of the Tower and its graffiti as a starting point for visual work and writing.
They worked with two artists to create three contemporary graffiti paintings to exhibit in the Salt Tower at the Tower of London. The canvases then moved to St. Paul’s Church café on St. Stephen’s Street, Bow.

The participants said:
- "I enjoyed everything about the project. I used to think graffiti was vandalism, but now I think it’s art."
- "I didn’t think that it would come out so well, I surprised myself… It was the best experience I’ve had in a long time."
- "I’m so glad that I took part"
