200 Nationalities, One NHS

A flower submitted for Rich Mix and Paint the Change's 200 Nationalities, One NHS mural. Esther is a young londoner from a Nigerian family who took part in the very first Paint the Change workshop that lead to this mural project. During this workshop, the need to celebrate diversity was one the main drives. Her incredible energy, creativity and dedication were the perfect metaphor for her to become the face of the "200 Nationalitites, 1 NHS" mural.

On display from September 2020 - September 2021, it was believed to be the largest mural in the UK to celebrate the work of the NHS. Spanning four storeys, this giant mural celebrated diversity in the healthcare service, which is made up of almost 200 nationalities across 1.7 million members of staff.

The mural was formed by 226 flowers drawn by artists and members of the public, then made into a giant piece of art by ATMA and applied to our award-winning louvres.
