Guardian artist Henny Beaumont is curating an Invisible People Art trail in Stoke Newington this July.
The trail, organised by Stoke Newington Business Association takes place in the first two weekends of July and will celebrate the work of people in Hackney who often feel invisible.
From paintings and photography to sculpture, ceramics or even fashion, original artworks by people who feel marginalised will be displayed in shop windows and restaurants throughout Stoke Newington.
Kate Revere, who runs the shop Revere the Residence, is helping to organise the event. She said: “Sometimes people are not seen in the community. An example is my daughter Piper who uses a walking frame – people see that but they don’t see that she’s an amazing artist.
“The idea behind the art trail is to give marginalised people in our community a platform to be seen. Whether that is someone who has a disability, young or old, the gender they identify with, their race or maybe they are a refugee.”
Henny Beaumont is the Artist in Residence for the British Institute of Learning Difficulties and a political cartoonist for the Guardian. Her daughter Beth, who works in Revere the Residence, has Down’s Syndrome and Henny’s graphic memoir Hole in the Heart details their early years together.
