Rather than viewing the pavilion through a narrow commercial real estate lens, Hackney Council has the unique opportunity to champion this project as an educational and social mentoring growth hub. The alumni trained in this very workshop hold the potential to act as cultural ambassadors, spreading this urban discipline to other towns and cities across Britain, where new cohorts can express their own civic and youth themes. Founder Tessa Hunkin has noted that public mosaic-making bridges deep socio-economic divides in gentrifying boroughs. Her projects uniquely draw in isolated individuals who feel excluded by traditional community programmes.
