This project will create two interconnected large-scale murals in Hull and London, celebrating the shared maritime and industrial history of the two cities. The murals will be designed as a visual conversation using a bold, contemporary graphic style. In Hull, the mural will be painted on a prominent wall near the Marina, incorporating elements like the Humber Bridge, the Deep, and trawler nets, rendered in a vivid, overlapping geometric style. In London, the companion piece will be created on a railway arch in King's Cross, featuring the River Thames, iconic bridges, and docklands cranes, using the same visual language but with a London palette. What makes this unique is the live-streamed collaborative process: the Hull team will begin their mural while the London team watches via live feed, responding in real-time with their own design elements. The final week will involve a digital montage and a curated exhibition of process sketches and photos in both cities, showing the dialogue across the Humber-to-Thames corridor. The project taps into the trend of place-making and public art as community engagement, while leveraging the distinct identities of a northern city and the capital. The final deliverables will include high-resolution photographs of both murals, a 3-minute time-lapse video of the creation process, and a set of limited-edition prints combining elements from both murals. This is a portfolio-worthy project for any visual artist or content creator looking to showcase large-scale public work and cross-city collaboration.
