South Norwood Rec pieces together anti-litter messaging

South Norwood Rec today has a new, bespoke piece of public art, commissioned from a local mosaic artist, “that highlights our shared responsibility to care for our local green spaces”.

The mosaic is the work of Corin Ashleigh Brown, who runs London Mosaic Studios, and was part-funded by a “mini-grant” from community group WeLoveSE25.

Brown says, “The mosaic features playful depictions of local wildlife whilst carrying a message about keeping our local park litter-free.

“The hope is that the mosaic will have the ability to reach people in ways that traditional messaging cannot.

“Creating a lasting visual reminder of our collective role in maintaining clean and healthy parks, we can all help wildlife thrive and improve the enjoyment of our green spaces for all who use them.”

Brown regularly goes on litter picks with Norwood Junkaction, and she says, “I’m hoping that this project will highlight the positive actions that take place in our local neighbourhood and the potential role that art has in public spaces to encourage others to be more community-minded.”
