Description +-
This work is from Stranack's series A Right To Learn. The artist pulls focus to the position that children are placed in as a result of war, persecution and refugee inequities. Across the world, there are still many children that are unable to get access to education due to conflict or socio-cultural and economic factors.
The education system in Afghanistan has particularly been devastated by many years of conflict. For many, even completing primary school remains a challenge. 3.7 million children are estimated to be out of school in Afghanistan, and 60% are girls. A shortage of schools and insufficient transportation are the main obstacles to education.
For this series of mixed media artworks on paper and canvas, and Stranack creates images that respond to the positive outcomes of access to education. Uplifting colours that reflect the cultural history and fashion of the country, while acting as a source for hope, peace and prosperity.

Latifah Stranack
"Through painting, I challenge the perceptions of my existence: brown skin from my father and white skin from my mother. I am mending all the broken umbilical cords of DNA, separated by time, land and mispronounced vowels, completing me, even in my fragmentation." -Latifah Stranack
Latifah Stranack is a UK, London-based artist (b. 1981) who has been exhibiting her work now for 5 years. She studied art formally at the Royal College of Art, Slade School of Fine Art and at Central Saint Martins. Being part of two diverse cultures has created a rich visual language for Stranack to work with as an artist. Having always been fascinated by cultural hybridity, she reshapes her memories in washes of paint, working with subconscious emotions and fears.
Stranack invented her "female heroines" as a means of exploring the above concepts; appearing half visible beneath a sheer fabric, eyes staring intently through a traditional batoola mask, or with lids delicately closed, lost deep in contemplation.
Donation +-
Based on our agreement with the artist, 15% of the pre-VAT price excluding frames will be donated to support Women for Refugee Women.
