Nice To Meet You

📣 I am delighted to announce the launch of my new community outreach project: Nice To Meet You / Som Rado Hoij Tumen Spindzardom.

For this project I will be working with Roma women living in Dover. We will collaborate over a series of workshops to create artworks that will be exhibited at Turner Contemporary in March 2022. 

I can’t wait to meet the participants and learn more about Roma culture and heritage.

🦋Follow #nicetomeetyou to join us on our creative journey.🦋

This project has been made possible by National Lottery supported Arts Council England grant funding and a grant from Counterpoint Arts.

Work on display: Lilacs In Bloom (2019) by Joy C Martindale.

Lilacs In Bloom is a participatory artwork made in collaboration with survivors of modern-day slavery and human trafficking.  Working with paint and scraps of colourful cloth collected along the tidelines of the coast in Southeast Kent, we explored creativity as a means of being free in the moment to choose how to express thoughts, feelings and ideas.
