Presented in spring 2020, MISHMASH by Cherelle Sappleton was the first billboard installed in Oliver Goldsmith Primary School Playground.
The billboard melds sculptures, photographs and collages the Big Family Press created with Cherelle during her residency to explore ideas of heritage and identity.
