'Roots and Branches' Exhibition for Croydon
ROOTS AND BRANCHES
A Collaborative Art Exhibition for the Museum of Croydon
Feb 1 - May 2, 2020
presented by
PLAY FOR PROGRESS
How can we work together to cultivate a community of healing, enrichment and growth for all of us?
Through creative projects in visual art, photography, music, and painting over the past year, our community of young people and associate artists explored themes of roots, displacement, branches, growth, nourishment, survival and the importance of connections to others and to the self. We want to share with you a glimpse of what we discovered within, about, and between ourselves through being and creating together. Welcome to Roots and Branches.
Featured Work and Artists
Our Branches - Dima Karout & Young People - Visual Art
Tree of Life - ATMA & Young People - Painted Mural
Anonymous Portraits - Emma Brown & Young People - Photography

Participatory performances, workshops, and more will accompany this free exhibition and be open to all, including an opening day on Saturday 22 February from 2 to 5 pm in presence of all artists, and Croydon's first ever MUSEUM LATE on 27 March. Follow @PlayforProgress on social media for details.
