London Mural Festival returns with a series of events that will immerse you in the city’s street art scene. At the centre of this year’s event is ‘Together We Rise’, a brand new mural created by artist Sophie Mess, which has given Shoreditch’s The Stage development a vibrant floral makeover. The permanent art piece will serve as the inspiration for one of the highlights of the 2024 festival, a flower stencil art workshop led by Mess herself. Attendees will learn the art of stencilling and create their own nature-fuelled artwork in the 30-minute session.
If you want to get up close to Mess’ mural and other street art in Shoreditch without actually having to do anything yourself, snap up a ticket for a guided walking tour. Experts will take you on a journey around the area that will stop at various mural sites, including ‘Together We Rise’. They’ll also get you clued up on the origins and evolution of London’s street art scene, making for an educating and inspiring tour.
