A series of community consultations organised by Rosetta Arts helped shape the London Blossom Garden, the Mayor of London’s memorial to honour key workers and commemorate Londoners who have lost their lives to Covid-19.
In October 2020, Rosetta Arts collaborated with four socially engaged local artists to deliver a varied programme of community consultations for the new landscape of blossom trees.
The public tribute, which mayor of London Sadiq Khan announced in November, will take the form of three rings of blossoming trees. The trees will be planted in memory of the thousands of lives lost in the capital as a result of the Covid-19 outbreak.
The artists who delivered the workshops – Sylvia Morgado (poetry and visual arts); Larissa De Filippo (music and film); Ada Jusic (illustration); and Sylvie Ganachaud (photography) – were selected via the Rosetta Arts Artist Accelerator scheme, which supports emerging socially engaged practitioners. The programme is supported by Get Living and the Foundation for Future London.
