Using Alupanel Aluminium Composite from Perspex Distribution, it constructed ‘Pleasure Garden’ to provoke thought and challenge perceptions of black cultural-identity and social influence during the Georgian era.
“Brixton is a vibrant place, so it made sense to look around us for colour inspiration – Ghanian kente cloth was the starting point for the combinations we have used,” explains 2MZ founder Lloyd Touwen, who adds: “The patterns include elements of BCA’s distinctive logo and others are patterns that we have been developing over the years.
