Shape Arts is presenting their 40th Birthday Bonanza at London’s Platform Southwark running November 25 and 26.

Raising funds for the future endeavours of their disability-led arts and non-profit organisation, Shape will host a postcard exhibition and sale, a series of workshops and opening and closing parties.

The postcard sale, open all day on Friday and Saturday, brings together work made onto postcards to be sold at 30 pounds each, with over 70 participating artists including Jesse Darling, Linda Stupart, Liv Fontaine and many others.

There will be two workshops led by writer Bridget Minamore on creativity and depression, and Charlotte CHW who will host a “participatory visual, image-based brainstorm and group composition of short performances relating to performing the body in trauma.”

The event is organised by Lulu Nunn.

See the Shape Arts website for details.**

HOAX is now accepting submissions for issue #7 until January 6.
