A unique five day free group exhibition at OXO
By Amber Davis
Freedom from Torture is the only human rights charity dedicated to the treatment and rehabilitation of survivors of torture that arrive in the UK. Through psychological and physical therapies, creative projects, forensic documentation of torture and practical assistance, the charity supports people to rebuild their shattered lives.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, Freedom from Torture has helped over 50,000 survivors of torture and organised violence and continues in their mission to raise public awareness about torture and its consequence.
Free Exhibition
To mark this milestone, Freedom from Torture is holding a free exhibition of works by some of the biggest names in the contemporary art world, alongside emerging artists and original pieces created by survivors of torture. Edmund de Waal, Marc Quinn, Sir Howard Hodgkin, Antony Gormley and Jake & Dinos Chapman are among more than 60 British-based artists who are donating works to this unique five day group exhibition.
