For one day only, an exhibition of artwork made in schools, colleges, universities and refugee support groups in the UK and abroad will go on display in Bradford’s City Park on Saturday 18 August.
800 individual Paper People artworks will hang together alongside 255m of bunting made from life jacket and inflatable boat material left on the beaches of Lesvos by people seeking refuge.
A slide show of people making their Paper People will run on the big outdoor screen in City Park during the event, which runs from 10.00am to 7.00pm.
‘The Paper People Bradford’ was developed by Suzanne Partridge after she worked as an arts volunteer in the Calais Jungle for a year. Suzanne said, “Working in the Calais Jungle made me realise how someone’s life worth is dependant on the type of paper it is written on. This is a vulnerability we are all aware of as our lives are often determined by the stroke of pen across paper”.
