Alexandra Arts![]() A community artist led group based at Alexandra Park, which believes that participation in the arts embracing nature, can make powerful and significant contributions to the well being of local communities. One of its current projects is the participation in the global INSIDE OUT project by Parisian street artist JR. Lead artist, Lotte Karlsen devised and delivered a unique series of weekly photo shoots with a group of sixteen children, aged 6-7 from the Art Club at St. Mary's C.E Primary School (Moss Side). The children were paired up to take close-up portraits of each other to express their feelings about the importance of nature in the inner city. This is a preview of the large-scale exhibition of these portraits along the railings of the Windrush Community Centre on Alexandra Rd. South. |
