Trip to the Trains

Participants of the Brent Street Art project visited the Monorex’s studio today in preparation for the Secret Wars Skool Edition on Tues 13th May.

Monorex work out of renovated tube trains situated on top of a warehouse events space in Shoreditch. The site is called Village Underground.

The visit gave the participants a good understanding of what life working at the creative site is like. Auro Foxcroft, the project Director at Village Underground, gave the team a short presentation on how the trains came to be, Stika led a tour to a nearby legal graffiti wall, the team visited an exhibition in the warehouse space below the trains and then the Monorex team led some illustration practice in their studio. The participants were put to the challenge yet again as Monorex gave them black canvases to work on. They used bright neon paint pens to create the work which looked really great all lined up at the end of the afternoon. They seemed to almost glow in the sunlight.

Thanks to all at Village Underground for a great afternoon and to the students of Kingsbury school for their hard work and enthusiasm.
