Bristol Beacon ‘A New Song For Bristol’ artwork with Black Lives Matter
Download© Licensed to London News Pictures; 04/11/2021; Bristol, UK. The concert venue Bristol Beacon, formerly called the Colston Hall, is unveiling a huge artwork on the outside of their building including the theme 'Black Lives Matter' to celebrate ‘A New Song For Bristol’, which is the final expression of Bristol Beacon’s landmark ‘A New Song For Bristol’ project. The 42ft artwork was created by Bristol artist Parys Gardener, and takes inspiration from the stories and artistic work submitted to the project. Bristol Beacon launched 'A New Song for Bristol' in 2020 calling on the public to convey their experiences of living in Bristol during the covid coronavirus pandemic through words and music. The result was a string of collaborations between local artists and members of Bristol communities, and these pieces have now inspired the huge artwork which is being applied to the glass frontage of the distinctive Bristol Beacon foyer building and will remain in place for the next few months. The entertainment and music venue Bristol Beacon was formerly called the Colston Hall and the name was changed due to the long standing controversy of the name being associated with the 17th century slave trader Edward Colston.
