Save Yourselves Exhibition in Hackney Wick
Back in August, we were asked by Time Out to select some of our favorite London street art from the summer(Previously on Hookedblog).
One of the pieces we selected was the Lord Napier Pub in Hackney Wick which saw a host of the previous and current resident street and graffiti artists or the ‘Lunatics’ as curator and artist Aida Wilde called them, takeover and transform the pub with a riot of colourful works.

Save Yourselves: Hackney Wick

This October from the 14th, London street artist Aida Wilde has once again assembled these ‘Lunatics’ to bring you an immersive, visual and historical experience to Hackney Wick's Stour Space.
In the run-up to the exhibition, the locals of Hackney Wick, Hackney WickED and Save Hackney Wick were invited to share personal photos, archival images and footage to be featured in the exhibition ensuring with these contributions Save Yourselves promises not to be just another gallery show but will offer an insight into this unique community past and present.

We stopped by Stour Space earlier in the week as Aida Wilde and a number of the artists were busy at work setting up the exhibition. With paint and paste flying around in among the sea of ladders and scaffold towers we managed to shoot a few teaser images which we have shared in this post.
With such an impressive line-up of artists many of whom have regularly featured on Hookedblog over the years, this is set to be one of the must-see London Street Art show of the year, you do not want to miss this show, trust us.

“For at least a decade, the urban art landscape of the Wick has shaped and developed the aesthetic of this unique pocket of East London. Save Yourselves celebrates the art and the artists who have personal and emotional connections to the area. Many of these artists have gone on to become some of the most prolific street artists of our time. As most buildings are doomed for demolition, subsequently so is the rich heritage of urban art in East London. Is there now anything left to Save, apart from Ourselves?”
