Tent of Hope: Peace Mandala

Zareena Bano

Local artist, Zareena Bano, led a collaborative artwork creation.

Peace Mandala invited us to decorate coasters with colours, symbols, and words representing peace, unity, or community. As the morning unfolded, the coasters were arranged into a large mandala forming an artwork that reflected the shared hopes of all who took part.

This event was part of Tent of Hope – a day bringing together people of all faiths and none to reflect, connect, and celebrate Bradford’s rich diversity.

Our Patch

This project was funded by Our Patch.

Our Patch is a year-long arts programme across Bradford in 2025, inviting community groups and residents to design and take part in free workshops, activities and events in their local area. Led by local ‘Our Patch Producers’ alongside artists and makers, the project will bring people together through creative experiences ranging from painting and poetry to dancing, cooking and gardening. Taking place in community halls, libraries, faith spaces and social hubs across Bradford East, Bradford South, Bradford West, Keighley & Ilkley and Shipley, Our Patch celebrates local culture while helping people learn skills, build confidence and make new connections. This is Our Patch.

Our Patch is funded by The Esmee Fairbairn Foundation and The National Lottery Community Fund. We extend our thanks to all players of the National Lottery.
