Following a community consultation, Déda has commissioned artist and illustrator Zoë Power to create the colourful 6 metre by 8 metre mural in Chapel Street.

It is part of Déda’s wider project, Altered Streets – An Urban Transformation, which will bring Chapel Street and the surrounding area to life with public art, lighting design and outdoor performances.

The mural will be officially unveiled during Derby Festé weekend, which runs from 24 to 26 September.

Steve Slater, director of Déda, said: “The mural will act as a vibrant and creative welcome and respond to our community about what it means to live in Derby as well as represent Deda’s past, present, and future.

“We commissioned Zoë because her work is bold, graphic and colourful.

“Having seen her work on walls across the UK, we were impressed with how she creates work inspired by the themes or connection, unity and body positivity to spread joy and uplift corners of cities.”
