London’s After Dark Festival

After Dark, having started in Bexhill has spread its wings, is now making its 5th comeback at the University of East London, 2026.

“ The wall is your safe-space, it’s for venting, scribbling, rants, colouring and letting it all out. It’s for you.”

Shreem invites you to the SportsDock by the Royal Docks to her interactive mural for a unique art therapy experience. It’s a space where art transcends mere visuals and becomes a conduit for self-expression and release, echoing the depths of your being onto the canvas of liberation. The UV lights and florescent colours are used to match the theme of the After Dark Festival.

As a part of London's AfterDark Festival the interactive mural is a wellness initiative by Graphic Designer, Shreem Khare, in collaboration with East London Sport. The audience is invited to the interactive mural for individual creative expression and communication - for colouring, venting, scribbling, rants, de-stressing and letting go.

Over 4000 people signed up to the AfterDark Festival and took part in the interactive mural for our unique art therapy session. The mural is now a permanent part of the SportsDock, with the space dedicated to art therapy and continues to receive visitors who interact with the mural in their own ways of creative expression.
