Who We Are
ABOUT THE GALLERY
White Box is a community art gallery space for selected artists to show their work. It is intended as a focus of interest for the people of Blackheath and for the wider world of art enthusiasts. We select a broad spectrum of art practices, something different from exhibition to exhibition, by committed artists. Prints, sculpture, painting, ceramics, performance and photographic works have all been hosted at White Box. The Gallery is run by Frances and Graham High who are themselves practising artists.
WHAT'S ON NEXT
ART AND POEMS FROM THE CHILDREN OF GAZA
From the book 'Moon Tell Me Truth'
Saturday 11th of May to Sunday 26th of May
Three Weekends : from 11.00 am to 6.00 pm
An exhibition of the ILLUSTRATED POEMS OF HOPE AND UNDERSTANDING. It consists of hand-written, illustrated poems by children in Gaza aged 9 - 14, written in the spring of 2023, before war broke out. Despite their experience of violence and trauma, their voices are optimistic and hopeful.
The poems were originally submitted as entries for a poetry competition run by UK charity the Hands Up Project (HUP) and subsequently published in a collection called ‘MOON TELL ME TRUTH'. HUP connects children around the world with young people in Palestine. By means of online interaction, drama and storytelling activities it enables the use of creativity and self-expression to promote mutual understanding, personal growth and the development of English language skills.

The images are not for sale as the exhibition is going to travel on but copies of the book they come from will be on sale and will go to support the HANDS UP PROJECT charity.
