As such, and as a long-term supporter of the charity, we are delighted that she is joining us as guest curator of heART & SOUL.”

“I grew up surrounded by creativity – my father was a jazz musician and my mother a multidisciplinary artist. Naturally, art and design have always played a huge part in my own creative practice as a musician and performer. I was therefore thrilled to be invited to guest curate heART & SOUL for Arms Around The Child – a charity whose work I’ve long admired – and to be able to bring together some of my favourite artists and collaborators to help this deserving cause.”
