Art and Illustration workshops 31st July- 3rd August, 12-2pm
Two Truths and a Lie is the highly anticipated 10-day solo exhibition of visual art by De’Anne Crooks. Born in Birmingham, De’Anne addresses a much-needed conversation about the Black-British experience whilst hoping to revolutionize the way in which we perceive contemporary visual art in urban settings. Aiming to educate and re-educate, De’Anne uses visual art methods to explore the truth about race, the truth about mental health and challenge a corporate lie regarding identity. This event includes a series of art and illustration workshops; which invites people to come and create art in the name of mental health awareness.
