Pack Light Care Packages

This project was sparked from the initial outrage from the recent injustices towards the Black community. During this time, a realisation occurred; anger is rather contagious. Our anger is short-lived but it also has the fuel to ignite our light; creating longevity in our movement. I believe that each person has the power to create a change whether small or big in ways that we can within our knowledge and God-given gifts. In times of anger, we were still capable of sharing joy and happiness. I witnessed many artists coming together to support and uplift each other from offering free services, promotions and reading lists. As much as I appreciate the awareness, it is also important to acknowledge the weight of the images and information we receive. I found books to be a mental relief from the media, especially fiction books! So I created a care package including a fiction book, a crescent moon light sculpture and many more items! The ideology is that in times of darkness, we have the power to unpack the world’s weight and find our own special protective ways to seek solace.

All profits and donations will be donated to AfroFlux, an art organisation based in Birmingham UK. The funds will be used towards the Wavey Lines drawing sessions to fund models and art materials. The aim is make the workshops more accessible for those who need support financially; to provide better anatomy practice and most importantly, it will enhance creativity by providing a variety of materials to create with!
