Breaking Down the Wall - LIVE
Live painting, Poetry and Percussion

Come and join us for a unique performance by artist Mohammed Ali.


Come and join us for a unique performance of live painting and spoken-word, with Mohammed Ali in collaboration with renowned UK spoken-word artists, David J, Indigo Williams and ZK The Poet.

Mohammed will be weaving together spoken-word with spraypainted words in front of a live audience. Already known for his unique message-based murals, Mohammed has been pioneering a unique amalgamation of different mediums and artforms, delivering them at auditoriums and public spaces across the UK, and now brings this to the city of Coventry.

Funding for Mohammed Ali was kindly donated by Arts Council UK

Common Ground News
Building bridges with graffiti art
We hear government officials, academics and politicians talking about the problems of multiculturalism and community cohesion, but I feel they have left one resource untapped when it comes to finding solutions: art. In fact, I often make the bold statement that graffiti art has the power to change the world.
