CREATIVE RESIDENCY

We are working in partnership with GOSH Arts on a Creative Residency at the hospital school focused on engaging pupils in the co-creation of artwork that will form a part of the temporary hospital entrance that will open later this year. The entrance to the hospital has to move temporarily when building for the new Children’s Cancer Centre begins.

Our creative residents, artists Usman Haque and Ling Tan who work together as Umbrellium https://umbrellium.co.uk, have a background in transforming urban environments and working meaningfully with local communities on collaborative projects. Their approach is both ambitiously creative and grounded in an understanding of the unique needs of our setting.

As well as working with pupils at the hospital school, they will be engaging children from the local primary school St George The Martyr. The work created will form part of the temporary entrance on Guildford Street and also the hoarding that will cover the building site on Great Ormond Street.
