A colourful and striking street art mural has been created in the heart of Manchester by a team of budding design students from Manchester Met’s Manchester School of Art to celebrate the 200thanniversary of the University.
Six design students were selected to work on the project alongside Overspray Collective Manchester, a women-led street art collective aiming to bring more women and marginalised people into street art by creating safe, inclusive and educational spaces around Manchester.
The mural’s design is inspired by diversity in Manchester and was installed by the team over just two days using a variety of materials including a staggering 50 cans of spray paint, masonry paint, acrylic paints, and chalk.
The finished mural is on display in the iconic Stevenson Square in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, a location famed for its vibrant street art, in collaboration with renowned art supply shop Fred Aldous who occupy the space with a revolving artwork.
