100% of all proceeds raised from the purchase of our exhibition catalogues and limited edition prints will be donated to Angel House – a dedicated charity who transform the lives of vulnerable and abandoned children across India. More than 25 million children live on the streets and in slums across India, many of which are forced into child trafficking, child labour, or begging on the streets – and we want to help.
