About

A celebratory installation inspired by the meteorological phenomenon of rainbows featuring the world’s first flavour rainbow commissioned by the Royal Docks Team.

Rainbows are universally considered a symbol of hope and renewal. From early myths to scientific inspiration, Judy Garland’s Somewhere Over the Rainbow to the high-flying flags of LGBTQIA+, and more recent Covid rainbows, the phenomenon is a universal sign of poignancy and positivity.

With the Royal Docks once London’s gateway to world trade, the celebration of rainbows you can interact with will have important local resonance.

Many of the foods and flavours coming into London passed through this area in terms of import, warehousing and manufacturing.

The world's first Flavour Rainbow installation featuring a flavour rainbow created using bespoke light refracted through the falling moisture that appears as multicoloured in guests' eyes hidden beneath Europe’s first Flyover. The flavours will be co-curated by our community partners who have illustrated their stories from the docks, proudly showcasing the past and future Newham.

Duration: 30 minutes each session
