Black Female Icons of Lewisham

Brewers were honoured to be able to provide masonry paint to the Black Icons Project as a part of the Brockley Max Festival 2023. Hear from Moira, Jennifer and Roxanne about how the project came about and why it is important to the community of Brockley and Lewisham. The Brockley Max Festival was from the 2nd to the 10th of June, where there were 9 days of over 70 events from live music, theatre and art to comedy, poetry nights and workshops. As a part of the festival, the Black Icons Project consisted of the local community selecting 4 inspirational black women who would become the focus of 3 murals. Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah Mavis Best and Kristins and Sadé Alleyne were selected by members of the public and steering committee for their incredible and aspirational work.
