“Street Expression”
An exhibition of works by a collective of ’street artists & designers curated by Danielle Scott
The forthcoming show ‘Street Expression’ is all about how one chooses to express oneself visually. The exhibition will feature live art performances, fashion shows, a workshop, installations and work hung on walls.
Graffiti, while illegal can be a powerful tool in making a huge visual impact and sending us messages concerning politics, emotions, or whatever else is on the creators mind. The best Graffiti causes us to wonder technically “how did they do that?” and speculate what the piece is about and why it was done.
Comics have been used to tell stories about the human condition and psyche and appeal to everyone. Through their pages we are transported to other worlds where we can be anyone we want to be therefore learning a little about who we are and the world around us through analogy.
Alternative, urban and Harajuku fashion can particularly help send messages about beliefs, interests and status.
Saturday 27 thSeptember 2.30 to 5pm: Workshop
Participants in the workshop will be customising t - shirts , and custom vinyl art toy blanks such as the
mini Munny and Dunny blanks. These will be limited to 20 blanks.Tamo and Qee figures will also be
available in addition to templates for the figures. There will also be a competition where participants
will get to win a Munny blank and a one off t-shirt made by the curator. All materials and instructions
are included. Workshops cost £12 per adult and £6 per child aged 12 - 15 years. Under 12 year olds go free.
By exhibiting the work of graffiti, comic/graphic artists, designers, and illustrators, creativity will be expressed in an uncompromising hard hitting way.
”Through art we put our soul on paper/concrete or fabric and share it with the world, this is a very nerve wracking thing to do. It takes more guts than carrying a knife.” (Danielle Scott 2008)
Money raised will be donated to the Ben Kinsella Fund to fight knife crime.
