On , we’re spotlighting Three Tenses: The Whitehawk Great Map 🎨

Now on display at Wellsbourne Healthcare CIC, this collaborative artwork was created by 73 children and young people from Whitehawk as part of a creative project led by Fabrica and Wellsbourne Healthcare CIC with artist Dan Thompson.

Through workshops at The Crew Club and Whitehawk Library, young participants explored their experiences of Whitehawk through art, storytelling and map-making - sharing memories, ideas and imagined futures for their community.

Part of the national touring exhibition Make now, think later, the project celebrates creativity, place and young people’s voices ❤️
