As some of you may know I’ve been working on this project for about 3 months now with unaccompanied minor refugees in London. Well the time has finally come to exhibit the hard work of these young people. originally we set out to enhance the youth interaction with art and communication, but through the process it turned out that I had a lot to learn from the participants. Since starting the project I have applied and been accepted on an MA program in Community arts and Goldsmiths College. So this exhibition is held very close to my heart and would love for you all to show your support to the young participants, Usurp artists and, well, me!! The above are just a few examples of some of the work produced.
****Subtle, beautiful, reflective insights about growing up in a hostel and creating an idea of a family and a future based on common experiences with other young people from all over the world.****
****Launch Night : Monday 26th July 2010 : 4pm-8.30pm****
Stop motion animations, mobile phone pictures, photomontage posters, voice play and music.
****Exhibition continues until Sun 1st August. Gallery open everyday 2pm to 8pm****
