Tell stories, use art to forge a way forward

Deathscapes

‘What to do about it? Tell stories, use art to forge a way forward. I believe that when you have art you have voice…Be responsible with your voice, with your freedom, and when you do this you can change the cultural tapestry of a nation.

I would like people to take the stories to the world, to humanise what has been dehumanised, to change the world and make it a better place with these words…with your words and deeds.’
