Merton Moving Postcards
With Louise Hung & Olivia Wu
Merton Moving Postcards workshops took place between July - August 2025 at Raynes Park Library.
These sessions invited participants to creatively reinterpret archival postcards of Merton’s natural heritage through tactile mediums such as printmaking, felting, clay modelling, and collage. Led by artists Louise Hung and Olivia Wu, each workshop became a space to reflect, create, and send a personal message to Merton - as if to a friend.
These expressions have come together in an animated film - a poetic tribute of care, memory, and future blessings.
