WHY A SOCIAL EXHIBITION?
Because our main aim is to open dialogue between the public and artists, through the exhibition, events and workshops. We bring together communities, art and artists, highlighting social matters while developing creativity and critical thinking.
We also promote artists and encourage them to focus on social issues through their work, projects and events.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
BAME artists who will work collaboratively with us to reflect upon:
