Merle is a creative Londoner

Merle spent fourteen days aboard a ship in the 1960s, in order to come to the UK and study nursing at her mother’s request. But she felt her creativity being stifled, so enrolled in art college, and took up photography.

Merle is a part of the 1000 Londoners ‘Windrush Generations’ season.

This film is part of 1000 Londoners, a ten-year digital project which aims to create a digital portrait of a city through 1000 of the people who identify themselves with it. The profile contains a 3 minute film that gives an insight into the life of the Londoner, as well as their personal photos of London and some answers to crucial questions about their views on London life. Over the course of the project we aim to reveal as many facets of the capital as possible, seeing city life from 1000 points of view.
