A mural of Benjamin Zephaniah has been unveiled in Birmingham, with the late poet’s brother describing it as “emotional”. See brief video clip here >
Tippa Naphtali said he had attended “so many” events for his brother since his passing in 2023, but admitted each one got easier because “we recognise that people loved him so much”.
The new artwork is located at Acorns Children’s Hospice and was shown for the first time on Friday afternoon.
Speaking at the event, Mr Naphtali said: “It’s such a wonderful location that does such wonderful work.”
He added: “It’s been fantastic today and really enjoyable. The team at Acorns have been wonderful. We have been working with them for about a year.”
