“Where are we now?”

‘Outsider Art’ is woefully under represented in the UK.  Carlotta Allum and Stretch Charity aim to curate a collection of outsider art from across the UK including installations, sound pieces, poetry and music from a diverse range of backgrounds. ‘Where are we now?' aims to address the present state-of-play for outsider artists in the UK and offer a platform for them make statements about these current, turbulent times, passing social comment on issues such as housing, justice and immigration. ‘Where are we now?’ will be the first of a growing yearly event to champion the arts of those who sit outside the recognised ‘art world’
