Alhambra Tiling Project
The makers of the Alhambra were artists, artisans and scientists and the Alhambra Tiling Project aims to reaffirm this spirit of plurity.On the simplest level, the work shows ways in which a variety of different shapes can fit together to make an integrated whole, an expression of unity within diversity, which may be taken as a metaphor for social integration and inclusion.
The patterns that connect ideas can also bring together different people, across divides of age and culture, towards a common co-operative and creative goal.
The Alhambra Tiling Project Collaboration invite you to attend this event to find out more about this unique opportunity for schools within the borough of Sutton to get involved in a landmark cultural arts legacy project.
