Margaret, Anthony and Vicky Richardson with artist Walid Siti

A NEW piece of public art was unveiled in Camden Town this week.

Kurdish-Iraqi born sculptor Walid Siti’s work Right To Climb has been commissioned by art lecturer Vicky Richardson to grace a work space that her father established in Oval Road.

Architect Anthony Richardson renovated a derelict 1930s-built railway workers’ canteen in the 1980s – and it is now a hub for creative firms. She told the New Journal said she felt the work was “a symbol of resilience and hope”.

It is part of the London Festival of Architecture and will be up until December 18.
