‘Slices of Peace’ is the outcome of British-Nigerian artist and designer Yinka Ilori’s (MBE) tenure as Kings Hill’s Artist in Residence. The sculpture is a one-of-a-kind apple formed of different colours and patterns, designed to reference Kent's rich history of apple growing. Large enough for people to gather inside, the sculpture allows for people to come together as a community. The sculpture is also accompanied by the immersive soundscape, 'Freedom Sounds - Lift Every Voice', created by sound artist and musician Peter Adjaye.
Shaped by Futurecity, the artwork and residency programme was the result of a cultural partnership between Yinka Ilori, Liberty Property Trust, Kent County Council, Turner Contemporary, University for the Creative Arts, and of course, the residents of Kings Hill.
Supporting the overall project was AtelierUCA, a team of students and graduates who supported with public engagement, project documentation, and the development of the accompanying publication. They were also tasked with programming and curating the accompanying exhibition that opened alongside the Ribbon-Cutting / Launch Event for the sculpture on Friday 12th April 2024.
Overseen by their Project Manager Daniel Tollady, AtelierUCA was formed of 15 members from a variety of disciplines, including Architecture, Interior Design, Fine Art, Graphic Design, Photography and Fashion.
