Last week, on the last day of Grant&Greene's exhibition, 'Behind the Fourth Wall', we hosted a Charity event.
After having had such a successful week exhibiting our pieces we wanted to give something back so we chose The Padua Charitable Fund, a charity that helps build houses, communities and schools in place of slums in the Philippines.
We held a raffle and had a spectacle of a show performed by Europe's top Philippine Dance Troupe 'Lahing Kayumanggi (meaning 'Brown Race'). I was happy to perform the 'Singkil' with them (a dance performed on bamboo sticks) even not having done it for 10 whole years! We also had the pleasure of documentary filmmaker Evian Cafun film 'Halo Halo' a piece that revolves around the lifestyles of Filipino families, students and entrepreneurs based within the United Kingdom, the United States of America and the Philippines.
SO what a night and I would like to announce that we have donated a stonking £410 for the PCF! That builds and houses almost two families, Anyes and I are utterly chuffed with ourselves and everyone who attending and dontated to this great cause. Thanks again for all your donations.
As for Grant&Greene's exploration of behind, through, over and into the wonderful aspects called life on canvas we are already booked for an exhibition in Paris, in South London and at The Philippine Embassy, London. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
