A community installation suspended above the street

To coincide with the launch of SXSW London, Redchurch Street will be transformed by a vibrant, suspended artwork – a poetic expression of Shoreditch’s creative spirit and the collective energy of its community.

On Thursday, 29th May, Rich Mix and onRedchurch will host a hands-on workshop by Siant Creative, inviting local residents, visitors, and businesses to tie a ribbon in support of the Rich Mix campaign, Every Child A Cinema Goer. Each ribbon will then form part of a large-scale aerial installation at the Boundary Street junction to Redchurch Street. The final result: a shimmering canopy of colour, movement, and care that catches the light and sways with the breeze.

The project celebrates connection, creativity, and place. Every thread is a personal mark of belonging – heartfelt, handmade, and interwoven into the fabric of Redchurch Street.

With our thanks to SXSW London, Shoreditch Arts Club, Huntingdon, Derwent, and JAG for their support in bringing this event to life.
