Garments and photos from the Petticoat Tales project were displayed at a ‘fashion salon’ event, with the announcement of the eight prize winners. Shopkeepers, community members, clients, curators, friends and family invited along to hear about the process and to view the garments.

Devonshire Square

Developers Nuveen and Curators Acrylicize offered a funded competition for Fashion and Fashion Photography students to design garments, and photograph them. The images will be shown in the Devonshire Square estate in Autumn 2022, and on the street on ventilation louvres in 2023.

Calcutta Annexe Mural

Tower Hamlets High Streets team and The Whitechapel Gallery invited young artists to propose a mural for the Pommel Way end wall of Calcutta Annexe, as part of the Middlesex Street Art Trail.

Art Makes People Powerful

As part of the Middlesex Street Art Trail, Tower Hamlets are funding AAD Professor / Bob and Roberta Smith’s work ART MAKES PEOPLE POWERFUL. It will be installed, hopefully with LED lighting, over the Calcutta House bridge. The project has been developed from a previous proposal at Central House, and invites responses for a mural on the Calcutta Annexe end wall. Both works will be installed in Summer 2022.

London Festival of Architecture

AAD Projects worked with Aldgate Connect Business Improvement District and Wayward to site their installation for the LFA in June 2022. The barrow planters are located on Aldgate High Street for the festival, and will remain over the Summer.
