Art in Hackney’s Streets: Veronica Ryan and Ridley Road Stories
Simply visiting and walking around Hackney means a chance to experience art representing Hackney’s important Black culture.
“Veronica Ryan’s fruit sculptures have been placed at the top of Mare Street in Hackney. I found them to be an interesting and eye-catching way of remembering those of the Windrush generation who have played such an important role in shaping Hackney today.
The photographs found on Ridley Road Stories (Part 2) are very striking. I loved reading the wee stories about each of the people photographed – fascinating glimpses into the many lives and histories that intermingle in this part of London. I also love the ethos of the project – that art should be on the streets for everyone to see.” – Ashleigh Brown, Speaker Scout and Applications Manager
