Our first summer project, based on the true story of a woman swimming along the Thames as a mermaid to raise awareness of the impact of plastic pollution. During her journey, she encounters a stranded cow. The mermaid had to work with others to save the cow, just as we must work together to save our planet. Lindsey Cole, the real-life ‘urban mermaid’, was at the Yellow to see her story come to life.
