The event also tried to raise funds for Oxjam.
Oxjam is about raising money for Oxfam to tackle poverty all over the world. Holding your own Oxjam fundraising event means that you'll be helping people to earn a living; get an education; gain better access to health care and fresh water; and to grow more food.
Oxygen Thievez Graff Collective were joined by a bunch of folks and soon turned into a bit of a street party. Upstairs above the shop, there was live illustrations, art works of different sorts and screenprinting.
Needless to say, the passin' PCSO's were a bit perplexed, and a little later joined by some police. Just to make sure no one got into any trouble of course :-( Naturally of course, everyone had a nice time and there really was no need for their services.
I made a 'slide show' video of the work, that was previously there.
