Artwork developed using the poetry developed by our youth activists from the book- These Are Our Friends as inspiration. Each art work represents one of the four themes of the poems: This Is – Our Inspiration, This Is – Our Community, This Is It: FGM and This Is: Our Life. The themes have been beautifully illustrated by talented and creative professionals from the worlds of fashion, graphic and web design, social media and music.
Poem ‘Game Face’ by Ikram Nur
These Are Our Friends was a creative project that used spoken word and poetry as a tool for young people to widen their knowledge on FGM, explore girls’ and women’s experiences of FGM and amplify their voices as Youth Activists. These Are Our Friends highlights the fact that FGM is an issue in the UK and is not a problem that occurs in a ‘another far away country’.
