‘On Tenterground’ has been designed by ciaociao design and takes inspiration from tenterground to celebrate Aldgate and its garment industry.

Rather than conventional techniques for exhibition, the intervention aims to engage the community in conversations to develop work together that captures the spirit of the neighborhood, cultivating an open space to express the complexities of individual and communal urban life. The unique collaboration tests out new scenarios for improving Aldgate’s public realm, prioritising spaces for art, culture and social exchange and promoting Aldgate as a cultural hub. The project has achieved zero waste and all materials used have been recycled for a second life.
