Between 2020-2022 Livia was an Art assistant on Musson&Retallic’s Community artwork F-OEW. This artwork was a 2 year project in collaboration with Peabody to bring culture and art to Thamesmead. 

The artwork uses textiles and drawings to tell the stories of local people; rather like the Bayeux Tapestry records a period of time pictorially. The balloon is a celebration of social and cultural interaction and recognises local people who define the community; it floats above, and mirrors, the social landscape and acknowledges the  global roots of the people of Thamesmead.  

‘Fields of EveryWhen’ takes the historic form of a hot air balloon because this was the first method used to look back down at, and photograph, the Thamesmead landscape. Thamesmead was also heavily protected by barrage balloons during the war due to its proximity to the Royal Arsenal.
