The London Borough of Newham invites expressions of interest (EOI) from socially engaged artists to present design proposals for a new, co-created permanent artwork installation in Forest Lane Park, Newham, London. The centrepiece of the project will be the creation of a new, permanent artwork that responds to the legacy of local activist, midwife and founding member of the Hibiscus Caribbean Elderly Association (HCEA), Lucel Tate. Drawing on themes of care, heritage, memory and renewal, the artwork will reflect on the park’s many layered histories, including the children’s workhouse that once stood in the park. Three shortlisted EOI submissions will receive £500 each total including artist fee, workshops, fabrication and travel expenses. A maximum budget of £37,500 will be available to deliver the project with the commissioned artist.
