Open Culture: No Borders ✴ Limited Prints
Four A3 risograph prints produced as a limited range of 200; 50 of each design. Artists are: Nicolas Piergallini, Bugbwoi, Sophie Lawrence and Eusebeia.
Each poster design responds to a stanza of a poem created by writer Fiona Glen especially for the Open Culture: No Borders project.
Fiona’s poem reflects the vitality of connection at a time when the Anti-Refugee Bill and related policies seek to divide us.
100% of the profit made from sale of the posters and the wider campaign is going to Kent Refugee Action Network.
They are a crucial independent charity whose mission is to support young refugee and asylum seekers to live fulfilled and successful lives in our communities, after arriving unaccompanied to the UK to seek asylum.
Boundless
Seeds can carry across a sea on direction alone
landing with nothing to bloom as a bright
somewhere.
Pollen accents the hearts of flowers
trading the keys to colour on those same winds.
Any wilderness is simply a tangle of many
who put down roots in shared grounds.
We pass understanding strand to strand
like trees speaking a language of exchange
sung through threads spun out in darkness, light
with all the strength of a forest.
By Fiona Glen
