JOJO MAMAN BÉBÉ LAUNCHES INSPIRING‘ FROM A MOTHER TO ANOTHER’ CAMPAIGN
From a Mother to Another, the initiative from JoJo Maman Bébé, starts collecting again on 22nd February 2017. The aim? To reduce the shocking levels of clothing waste that end up in landfill while helping those in need in the UK with distribution via Trussell Trust food banks, as well as thousands of Syrian refugees living in Lebanon.
JoJo will be collecting good quality outgrown or unwanted baby and children’ s clothes in sizes 0-6 years, and children’ s shoes. Customers are requested to make up complete outfits, with shoes in a separate bag, and donate at one of their 80 stores across the UK and Ireland. A full list of stores can be found at www. jojomamanbebe. co. uk / stores.
UNDERGRADUATE FROM SUSSEX RECEIVES‘ STUDENT PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR 2016’ TROPHY
A student photographer who said he was“ shocked beyond words” to have won a national annual competition has been presented with a trophy.
Henry Nathan, who was praised for his“ stunning and timely” shot of a light shining through a cave in America, beat 850 entries to win the Calumet Student Photographer of the Year 2016 competition.
Nearly a third of the UK’ s clothing ends up in landfill, equating to 350,000 tonnes a year.
Sending good quality, little-worn handme-downs to those in need would mean they are worn by many more children, extending the clothes’ lifespan. JoJo Maman Bébé will cover the extensive costs of checking, sorting, shipping, customs clearance and managing the logistics of delivering the parcels to the partner charities in Lebanon and to the Trussell Trust’ s foodbanks across the UK.

RARELY EXHIBITED KEITH TYSON WORKS TO GO ON DISPLAY AT JERWOOD GALLERY
This exhibition of work by the 2002 Turner Prize Winner, Keith Tyson, will feature more than 360 studio wall drawings created over the last 20 years of his career, many of which have never been publically exhibited before.
Keith Tyson explores some of the most fundamental preoccupations of our shared human experience in his work, taking the universe and our place in it as his subject. Shown together for the first time, these drawings form not only a record of the passing time, but also provide a unique insight into the working practices of an artist.
“ Shown together, the drawings form a record of passing time. I prefer to exhibit them in solid blocks and arrange them associatively rather than chronologically,” says Keith.“ This is how the mind and memory seem to work. Proustian, nonlinear and yet anything but random – I’ m often amazed at how the drawings so obviously predict my future direction long before I am consciously aware of it.”
The company’ s managing director, Jon Warner, presented the 20-year-old with his trophy and a certificate at Calumet’ s flagship store on Drummond Street earlier this month. He also won a package of prizes worth more than £ 11,000. Henry, from Turners Hill near East Grinstead, who studies at the University of Leeds said:“ I am absolutely blown away to have been named the winner of this prestigious competition, which I am sure will help establish my place as a photographer in the industry.”
