The 2015 Children's Commission at the Whitechapel Gallery. Brazilian artist Rivane Neuenschwander’s (b. 1967) explores childhood fears, in a display of vibrant handmade capes that combines elements of drawing, textiles, design, performance and writing. The artist worked with children aged 7 to 9 from across London to gather a collection of fears – ranging from ‘heights’ and ‘bees’, to ‘strangers’ and ‘nightmares’, and the more abstract ‘silence’. Neuenschwander has translated the children’s drawings and texts into fabric cape designs. Associated with protection and supernatural power, the capes also echo the artists’ interest in folk traditions, children’s literature, nature, psychoanalysis, and in the rich history of modern art in her native country.

The original Whitechapel Gallery building was designed by Charles Harrison Townsend, who also designed the Bishopsgate Institute and the Horniman Museum. The museum expanded into the library next door in 2009.

Part of the Whitechapel Gallery was once the Whitechapel Library, known as the "university of the ghetto." www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/aug/06/books.arts
