Hengist Group of Artists is a community club for artists of all abilities and interests in Dorset. We are mainly amateur artists with a passion for all things arty. Our members paint a wide variety of subjects and in many mediums including oils, acrylics, watercolours, pastels, pencils and mixed media. We are a very diverse group in both our ages and interests, but connect over our love of art. There is something for everyone in this exhibition.

As a group we meet every third Monday of the month and enjoy demonstrations from other local artists, sharing knowledge and gaining inspiration for our next project. We are also to be found exhibiting our work locally. Visitors to our meetings are very welcome.

More information about our group and our activities can be found on our page Hengist Group of Artists.

We hope you enjoy our exhibition.

The Hands That Feed Us

A photographic exhibition developed and presented by Dr Rehan Zia.

Environmental photography exhibition highlighting and celebrating the positive contributions migrants & refugees make to society & Bournemouth in particular. The exhibition aims to counter the negative rhetoric and connotations that have been created around terms/labels such as 'refugee' and 'migrant' and shows the everyday, hardworking human beings just trying to get through life like everybody else.

Part II
The Hands That Feed Us – Exhibition of Ukrainian Artists

A photographic exhibition and art exhibition developed and curated by Iryna Tolokonnikova, Founder & Curator of Ukrainian Artists & Art, non-profit cultural platform.

Our exhibition brings together documentary photography and visual art to explore the contribution of Ukrainians to British society and culture.

It begins with documentary portraits of Ukrainians working across different sectors of the United Kingdom, highlighting the many ways they contribute to everyday British life. The exhibition then moves into contemporary visual art, exploring the symbolism of hands, work, creativity, hospitality and the cultural contribution of Ukrainian artists living in the UK.
