It’s the summer of art for Paper Rhino this year. We’ve had loads of art projects in the pipeline and we’re very much looking forward to sharing them all with you. Here’s the first: ‘Home’ by Amanda and Jay.
Amanda and Jay won a bid from Platforma South East to produce two pieces of work based on refugees. The project is called ‘Welcome’ and will be exhibited at the Turner Contemporary in Margate starting today and lasting until 11th July.
The work subverts the common arguments against accepting refugees. Images of refugees in plight are overlaid with a phrase of acceptance by Jo Cox MP. This is juxtaposed against a touching scene of a refugee baby being welcomed and cared for, overlaid with a blunt, rude and ignorant comment by a Britain First supporter.
