WOM Inspired 2022 Mural Trail
If you are into street art and want to see something special, around 50 amazing graffiti women, from the WOM Collective have come together to create an awesome and huge Art Trail. When I say huge… I mean it covers the whole of London! Inspired by International Woman’s Day, there will be more live sprays happening around March. Many artists have collaborated together to create some unique pieces, as well as some creating their own. An online map (below) will help lead the way, as you want to know where to head...
On the doorstep of Peckham, we have our own collaboration piece, near the Peckham Peculiar café. I, Soul’D and 7th Pencil meet in the group and have been friends ever since. We are also stencil artists, so it nice to have that in common and be able to discuss different techniques and materials. We got together to create our piece for International Woman’s Day (with a supportive hint to Ukraine)
Our mural celebrates the uniqueness of all women from all backgrounds. Women Standing together as one, supporting each other and enjoying life.
Flying around their heads are butterflies which is symbolise the 'Butterfly Effect" and aims to inspire and remind us all that actions and words create a knock-on effect, and to fill our words and actions with beauty and kindness. This has a continuous rippling effect on those around us.
Always within Soul’D pieces, are hidden activation codes that activate the subconscious into taking action. They represent a unique mantra that she created; learn, understand, collaborate to protect our earth... This is the ethos behind all of Soul’D work and subliminally the aim is to help every single person become an earth warrior.
The Flying aerosouls are a signature of 7th Pencils work. The used cans, after creating amazing pieces are then recycled and given a new lease of life. They represent freedom and liberation from oppression, from being stereotyped. Being reused and not discarded acts as a reminder of the circular economy which is a huge movement and ethos that will help save our planet.
You can find this art piece at: 102 Peckham Road, SE15 5BE (Walmer Castle Court). It’s near Peckham Pelican, so grab a takeaway drink and go and have a looking at our mural. Let me your thoughts on this new piece.

BETHNAL GREEN/ E2 7QJ
7th of March
Wall by Jane Mutiny
ETHOS: My piece will feature a monochrome portrait and birds. It will look at Crows through the eyes of Yorkshire born poet Ted Hughes, and his seminal book From the Life and Songs of the Crow, a source of constant inspiration for me. The mural will explore and feature some of the words he wrote from Crow, which is a dark, troubled work and serves as a modern, ugly, difficult interpretation of the Bible’s Book of Genesis.
BETHNAL GREEN/ E2 7QJ
7th of March
Wall by @Grown.ldn
ETHOS: My piece is based on the inner strength and internal life of a woman. The power of self-belief and presence of mind, knowing who you are from within. The power we hold to advocate, protect and nurture each other, and to help each other bloom into something new. The daisy chain represents our natural ties to each other through our shared experiences as women and the unbreakable bond of sisterhood.
