Inspired by the people they met and communities they became part of, they have created artwork in a range of media: photography, charcoal and pastel drawings, graffiti art and videos. Platform2 artists explore perceptions of poverty through their work, and will do various workshops and awareness raising activities around development issues. They will also be telling their stories of their volunteering experience through talks and presentations.
This exhibition will be held at the brand new venue, Shieldfield Methodist Church which has been renovated by the Biscuit Factory and transformed into ‘The Holy Biscuit’. The exhibition is free and is a great chance to share life changing experience of the artists and explore international poverty.
