Christian Aid, ‘Poverty Over’

A touring exhibition that is visiting Cathedrals all over the country enabling viewers to learn more about the work of Christian Aid and deepen understanding about the issues behind poverty and how they can be overcome. A centrepiece of the exhibition is a specially commissioned sculpture created by British artist Mel Howse that takes poverty as its theme and explores the void between those inside the poverty trap and those privileged enough to be on the outside looking in. This will

be accompanied by photographs that show the work of Christian Aid

and the challenge of its vision to eradicate poverty.
