CATHERINE HALL

Catherine Hall is an artist whose practice is scientific! "Say what?" I hear you thinking! Hang on, there's more.......Catherine studied physics and fine art and has successfully managed to combine the two by seeing art as a process both of analysis and communication, then using this to see the views of others. You know this will be interesting!

WAIT, THERE'S MORE........

FOOD GLORIOUS FOOD!!! Yeah you read right! A range of freshly prepared vegan food will be available on the night for only £3 per plate! Could this event actually get any better? Yes, there'll also be non-alcoholic cocktails for sale so don't worry about rushing home to get a bite after work - come straight to Passing Clouds and share in the warm and chilled atmosphere (and get your seats too because it's going to get rammed!)

A majority of the money made on the night will be going to The Panzi Hospital & Foundation which specialises in operating on women who have fistulas due to brutal and violent rape. This hospital is a not only a beacon of hope but the only place for women and children who are victims of the deadly conflict to go after being rapes, rejected and escaping from their captures. Many great things are happening here so why not be a part of it whilst having a good time? Why not get started in the campaign for ethical technology and check out Fairphone - the world's first conflict free phone, not iPhone 5!

See you there xx
