The Grade II listed 'Equality-Harmony' mural on Broadwater Farm, created by artist Gülsün Erbil in 1986-87, is a symbol of the resilient and diverse community.
As Tangmere block undergoes demolition and reconstruction for new council homes, the mural will be carefully removed, restored, and relocated within the estate. The 100-square-meter mosaic, London's largest external mural, features a world map and a rainbow at the top, symbolizing equality and harmony, with 2 hands playing the piano at the base.
The restoration, managed by conservation company DBR, involves sectioning the mural into 19 pieces, each weighing over 2 tonnes, followed by cleaning and repairs in a systematic conservationist approach. This ensures that 'Equality-Harmony' will continue to inspire for years to come.
