Justice For Grenfell, 2020

Felt and hand embroidery on calico, 29cm x 31cm

“Stay home, save lives” Three years later and 56,000 people still live in towers covered in the same dangerous cladding which caused 72 people to die that night in 2017 at Grenfell. The local community had been campaigning for years that the building was dangerous and their concerns were never listened to.
Kensington and Chelsea borough, one of the richest areas in Europe allowed over 70 people to die in such a horrific way because of government negligence and capitalist greed.

361 buildings are still unsafe to live in across the UK. Its a privilege to be in lockdown in a house where you can sleep and not fear your home will suffer the same fate as Grenfell overnight.
