Dalston Peace Mural
Hackney History Festival is back for another year to highlight the borough’s rich and diverse past to life at venues across Hackney. Come along to participate in talks, walks, and guided tours showcasing some of the area’s most iconic buildings and spaces.
About This Event
Local historian Laurie Elks chairs a panel discussion with Roland Walker and Alan May, two of the figures in the Dalston Peace Mural. Roland is the son of Ray & Anna Walker. Ray designed the mural and Anna co-painted the mural following Ray’s untimely death, with Mick Jones. Alan was a member of Chats Arkestra, who played at the 1983 Peace March celebrated by the mural. Together, they will decode the mural’s narrative and history; identifying the faces, themes and events depicted.
Arrive at 4pm to browse the collection of Ray Walker's: Dalston Peace Mural, recently donated to Hackney Archives. Panel discussion starts at 4:15pm.
