Support the Brain Tumour Charity Exhibition, 'Time', with Volunteers and Donations



Hello Everyone,

This month I started working with The Brain Tumour Charity, a dedicated funder of research into brain tumours globally, which is hosting an exhibition titled, Time, at the Business Design Centre in London in April. The charity is looking for artists to donate art for the charity auction. If you’re interested, please let the TBTC know by this Friday. 

Additionally, I will be offering a day-long workshop for the duration of the Time Exhibition on Saturday, April 8th with open drawing stations and a series of drawing exercises based on colour-as-feeling, sense of self, family dynamics, sharing experiences, or enhancing well-being and quality of life through artmaking. You don't need to book, and all activities are open to everyone. More details below. 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

All the best,

Joshua


Donating work

It’s the final call to donate artwork to the Time Art Exhibition! If you’re interested, please do let the Time Art Exhibition team (time@thebraintumourcharity.org) know by 3 pm on Friday 24th March.

Your work will be exhibited from April 6th – 15th at the Business Design Centre, and the exhibition is shaping up to be a really international affair with amazing art from the US, Israel, and Australia as well as artists here in the UK. We have pieces from recognised artists such as David Shrigley and the recently named in Forbes 30 under 30, Nicholas Kontaxis, who is exhibiting an exclusive piece for us as well as some very emotive art submitted from our supporters that really capture what it is like to be part of the brain tumour community. We have chosen the broad theme of TIME as we hear all too often that people wish that they had had more time with loved ones or that they had had better quality time with them.

We’d love you to be involved!


Volunteering at the Exhibition

If you have any spare time over the Easter break and would like to volunteer at the Exhibition, The Brain Tumour Charity team would love to have you there. The exhibition will be open to the public between April 6th – 15th, and it would be a great opportunity to talk through some amazing artwork with the general public and help inspire potential buyers to bid on some beautiful artwork. The team will be installing the exhibition on April 2nd and 3rd, so if you could lend a hand with the installation process and work alongside the curators of the exhibition, that would also be brilliant!


If you’re able to donate any time, then please do let the Time Team know by emailing time@thebraintumourcharity.org.

 Art and Environmental Justice: How Art Can Promote a Sustainable Future By Dr Joshua Y’Barbo (7 May 2024) Earth's Day (Hurt, Sad, Upset) (2023) by Joshua Y'Barbo Colour pencil, sticker, and pen on paper. 210 mm x 297 mm. Introduction As an artist-in-residence for the TEAM LEWIS Foundation , I research important social and sustainability issues within art and culture at the  intersections of the creative and communication industries . Last month, I hosted Earth Day , which inspired me to write about how art can promote a more sustainable future.  Art has been a powerful tool for advocacy throughout history, particularly in global challenges we’ve faced over recent decades. In more recent years, art projects have become a means of promoting environmental justice.  Art has the capacity to raise awareness, to engage creativity for addressing complex problems, and may also support transformation to sustainability ( Dieleman 2017 ). However, the impact and outcome of a g...

Participatory Art and Labour: Exploring Creative Collaboration and Advocacy

Participatory Art and Labour: Exploring Creative Collaboration and Advocacy Dr Joshua Y'Barbo   Wash Your Memory Inflation (2023) by  Choeun Kim.  Digital Print. As an artist-in-residence for the TEAM LEWIS Foundation , I research intersections between art and communication, which involves writing about important social and sustainability issues within art and culture. Last month, we celebrated May Day , a historically significant day in the labour movement, marking the global recognition of workers' contributions and the achievements of the international labour movement. This meaningful occasion, deeply rooted in the struggle for workers' rights, serves as a fitting time to acknowledge the role of participatory, socially engaged art in advocating for workers' rights and social change. These art forms have been instrumental in engaging communities, expressing the struggles and triumphs of the working class, and highlighting social justice and inequality issues. Through...
