Gospel storyteller and activist Alan Storey on the Yellow Banners Project at Central Methodist Mission, located on Greenmarket Square in Cape Town city centre. Each of the 19 hand-painted banners hung from the church tower proclaimed a response to a topical public issue.

"The banners had a stunning impact. They attracted national and international attention to their message and to the Central Methodist Mission on which they were so conspicuously displayed. Sex workers, cross-border-migrants, queers, oppressed workers, the weak and the marginalised, the stigmatised and the ostracised, those unsheltered and undocumented, those seeking shelter from repression and hatred - it is these whom Alan's moral imperatives gather into his impelling work, and it is these who populate the pages" Edwin Cameron, from his foreword

Alan Storey served at Central Methodist Mission from 2008 to 2023.
