The Periodic Table Street Banners

About

If you go out of White City Underground Station, stand on the pavement and look up at two tall lampposts to the left and right, you will see Street Banners. Designed by Emma Davis from Riverside Artists Group, they celebrate the 150th anniversary of The Periodic Table of chemical elements with images from artworks made by local families. Visible to buses, pedestrians and passing traffic, this is a significant collaboration of arts and science, and a first for art on banners for H&F ArtsFest (runs from 1-9th June)

What do you say when Oxygen, Hydrogen, Sulphur, Sodium and Phosphorous walk into a bar? OH SNaP…

The images were made in a fun hands-on art and science-making workshop for local White City families held at The Invention Rooms, Imperial College London’s unique community innovation space. The workshop, part of the College’s Community Engagement Programme, was led by Richard Kong, a postgraduate student from Imperial’s Department of Chemistry, and Emma Davis. During the workshop, families watched chemistry experiments and creatively explored the meaning of elements with art materials. It is these mysterious substances that make-up our extraordinary but everyday world.

From the workshop, Emma collected images for two banners that will be installed outside White City Underground Station 1st-30th June.

Unmissable! Look up while passing by on Wood Lane.

Riverside Artists Group would like to thank our partner Imperial College London, HUC and HF ArtsFest .
