#PERSPECTIVE

As the world changes, so too must the art-world. Galleries can no longer rely on being exclusive and intimidating, the preserve of the wealthy, in an era where we consume art daily on our phones and are inspired to go to exhibitions by other people’s selfies.

There is no doubt that art is as relevant to the millennial generation as it has been to generations past, if not more so. Art is accessible in a way it never was before and the explosion of contemporary art, especially in mediums such as performance and installation work, has contributed to a growing democratisation.

Citizens of Hope: The World Refashioned By Yasmin Jones-Henry

I built @WorkinFashion.me to talk about hope... As some of you will know, I came up with the idea and the name for ‘WorkinFashion’ while sitting in the canteen on 6 th floor of the Financial Times during a lunch break. I was at a crossroads in my life, where for the first time in over 3 years, I was beginning to see daylight.

A lengthy battle with depression, anorexia and bulimia meant that the first four years of my twenties had been an uphill struggle and an ultimate test of endurance. The feeling of overwhelming gratitude

that consumed me, as I looked out of the window at London’s haphazard skyline, brought me close to tears. For the first time in a long time, I began to hope for the future. I began to believe in my future. I had genuinely forgotten until that moment, what hope actually felt like.

You see, when you have been locked in a prison, be it physical, psychological or spiritual, for an extended period of time, the first moments that you taste freedom, are the sweetest moments in life. You get to see and feel the raw beauty that is in life
