\"WOM<\/a><\/p>\n

To celebrate the first year of the all-female street art collective, WOM Collective<\/a> organised an anniversary paint jam inviting some twenty members of the collective to paint in the Allen Gardens in East London just off Brick Lane.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The WOM Collective

The WOM collective was founded in August 2019 by a group of London-based female artists and includes Spanish street artist Elena Gonz\u00e1lez better known as ELNO, Spanish artist Lours, London-based artist Carleen De Sozer, and photographer\/artist Raquel Natalicchio among its founders.<\/p>\n

\n

A grassroots collective, these London-based female artists who formed the WOM Collective are all passionate about inspiring and empowering each other and their communities.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The collective have dedicated themselves\u00a0\u00a0“to empowering HER-story by providing a platform for graffiti jams, exhibitions, workshops and events that give back to female artists, local communities and charities”<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

WOM Collective Leake Street Paint Jam

Earlier this year the WOM Collective hosted another London street art paint jam in South London\u2019s Leak Street tunnels made famous by British Street Artist Banksy<\/a> way back in 2008 when he hosted The Cans Festival street art and graffiti festival in the tunnels underneath London Waterloo station.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since The Cans Festival in 2008, the Leake Street Tunnel has continued to host various other street and graffiti events and paint jams and has become one of the legal goto wall locations in London for painting street art and graffiti.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Unfortunately, we missed the Leake Street Tunnel Paint Jam at the start of the year, but fellow bloggers Inspiring City<\/a>\u00a0and London Calling Blog<\/a> were both in attendance and both have featured a selection of work in progress and completed mural images from the earlier WOM Collective paint jam event on their blogs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
