SMILE-ING BOYS PROJECT EXHIBITION

The internationally acclaimed artist- Kay Rufai returns with a Wellcome Trust & Arts council funded research led mental well-being project for BAME Boys in London. The Project was created as a direct response to the rise in youth stabbings (1,299 in London between April 2017 and April 2018) which sparked a series of reactionary approaches from the government regarding tougher criminalisation of youth, more stop and searches and greater police presence in minority communities. This birthed the S.M.I.L.E-ing Boys Project.
