The official launch of Pragya Kumar's Wall project instalment in Firepit

Firepit

At Firepit we use art and creativity as a way to connect all the diverse communities that we share this space with. To facilitate that we very excited to welcome Pragya’s Bricks project to Firepit. Pragya, who is also one of our resident artist, first started Bricks on the wall with Eltham Arts in 2017 in response to their Wall project. The project was very well received by the community and they contributed more than 900 bricks! It was also nominated for a national award in 2020.She is now touring the project and following on from the huge success in the SE9 community, the project is now at Greenwich Peninsula where it was also originally conceived!We would like to invite the community here to join us in designing “Bricks to build a foundation” What does a foundation mean for you? In a world that seems to get increasingly more divisive and hurtful, what can we do to bring peace and support back to our communities? What brick would you lay in the foundation to create a better world?The project will be launched on 29th June 2024 at Firepit Studios and will continue until end of September 2024.Come by on the launch day, meet Pragya and please make a brick :) all materials will be here waiting for you. The bricks can be created in any medium as long as they are 20cms x 6cms in size. You can create as many bricks as you like, create them in your own space and time and then drop it off at Firepit or you can make one here! Photography &amp; Filming will be taking place on the day.
