Pattern For Yemen
Amelia Graham-Mercuriali
Pattern for Yemen is an initiative by A Friend of Mine (@afriendofminedesignstudio) and The Souvenir Society (@thesouvenirsociety) enlisting 15 local and international artists to help raise funds for the crisis in Yemen, one of the largest humanitarian issues facing the global community.
The U.N. estimates that more than 22 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in Yemen and of those, as many as 8 million children under the age of 5 are acutely malnourished and cholera is rampant.
Artists' pieces, including mine will be printed onto furoshikis and made into framed pieces by United Editions, which will be sold online & at an opening exhibition. All proceeds will go directly to humanitarian aid in Yemen. Please take a look at their page- @patternforyemen
