This piece is part of the exhibition Human.Kind, Bloomsbury Festival 2024.

In this creative collaboration, 13 writers from ‘26’ a creative writing community, have collaborated with 13 writers from the Barbican Young Poets, led by Jacob Sam-La Rose, to write poems on the theme Human.Kind.

Artists from The Lettering Arts Trust have then interpreted extracts from these poems in the mediums of calligraphy, engraving, stone and wood carving, and typography, and the resulting lettered artworks are on display in this exhibition.
