00:30 Hi there, can you introduce yourself?
00:32 My name's Annabel, I'm the Director of Form and Function.
00:34 Brilliant, and tell me where we are and what we're doing here today.
00:37 Today we are at Orchard Park and we are witnessing the installation of an update of a new mural.
00:43 The new mural is called 'Love is Love'. It has been inspired by a workshop by Portsmouth Youth Cabinet,
00:49 led and put together by artists Sammo and Thark.
00:54 It's a very welcome update to the work we've already done as a community interest company in Orchard Park.
01:00 I understand later you've got a picnic?
01:03 We do. The Youth Cabinet, the young people that have been seminal in putting this together,
01:08 are coming down, seeing their work in real life and they're going to join us for a community picnic.
01:13 What's the reaction been like as the mural has been taking place today?
01:17 Absolutely fantastic, people love it. There's been lots of positive comments, people walking past,
01:22 we've been sharing on social media, we've had a lot of feedback already.
01:26 I think people just really value the importance of community-based, mural, publicly accessible artwork,
01:32 which promotes positivity in the city.
