Please Take a Seat is an exploration of representation, identity, and place, developed by Mahtab Hussain in collaboration with The Line’s Youth Collective.
The engraved prompt ‘Hello, let’s make a portrait together’ invites you to sit, reflect and use the bench as a prop to create your own portrait and share it as part of a growing, collaborative portrait of East London, created by residents and visitors to Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.
We invite you to share your contribution using #PortraitsOnTheLine on social media, where we will select works to feature on this page in a changing online exhibition.
Not on social media? You can still contribute a response by uploading your portrait through this form.
We welcome your portrait response and encourage you to share your creativity through your content.
This digital exhibition is curated using content shared via #PortraitsOnTheLine and the upload form. By contributing, you grant The Line, the artist, and project partners a non-exclusive, worldwide licence to use, edit, and share your content across our communication channels in the promotion of this work. Any views expressed through this digital exhibition are those of the contributors and do not reflect the views of The Line or its project partners.
