September Events from #Art Represent
Art Represent was founded in 2013 by Baiqu Gonkar, originally from Tibet and now living in London, she grew up with a passion for the arts and wanted to find a way to connect artists from remote and distressed regions of the world to the wider public.
Believing that creativity can emerge in the most unlikely circumstances through a need to express and communicate, Baiqu has connected with artists across the world from places such as Tibet, North Korea, Syria, and Afghanistan.
Art Represent offers beautiful, affordable, limited edition prints and ceramics from these artists, with each piece having a hidden story from the most unexpected of places.Art Represent believes that everyone deserves the right of expression.
