World Poverty

A VISUAL RESPONSE TO WORLD POVERTY: WHAT IS BEING DONE?
Artwork created specifically for the book by Darren Evans, FRSA.

This abstract composition reflects the interconnected challenges explored throughout World Poverty: What Is Being Done?  It visualises key themes relating to poverty, inequality, climate change, and environmental degradation. Whilst highlighting the changing world we leave for future generations.

The darker left side of the artwork evokes poverty, deprivation, and hardship. At the centre, a globe represents the shared nature of these challenges, illustrating how events in one part of our world can have far-reaching consequences well beyond its borders. 
 
The shifting colours and landscapes depict a world in transition, show casing a changing climate and its profound effects on our oceans, ecosystems, plants, wildlife, and ultimately, human life itself.
The movement towards vibrant colour indicates community and represents the positive choices that remain open to us all.
The words woven within the artwork provide a simple, powerful message:

• EDUCATION
• EQUALITY
• OPPORTUNITY
• HOPE
• ACTION
• TOGETHER
• WE CAN

The title also asks a critical question: What is being done?
The answer cannot be confined to addressing poverty alone. It must also encompass how we respond to inequality, environmental change, climate pressures, and the protection of the natural world, by reducing global carbon emissions.
 
As citizens of our global communities and nations, we are all connected in our responsibility to protect the animals, plants, oceans, and the planet we share together.

The City of Ink Trail

The City of Ink Trail is a story that refuses to end.Its author is never fully named, their presence felt only in the spaces between pages, leaving room for the reader to step inside. A missing page is never recovered because it is not meant to be found; it is meant to be lived.

Each character becomes a living continuation of the unfinished manuscript, carrying its meaning forward into a city that never stands still.In a place shaped by surveillance and authority. There is a  hidden collective known as the Ink Circle.  It emerges, writers, artists, and thinkers whose anonymous creations appear in unexpected places. Such like the work of Banksy, their messages are public, provocative, and impossible to ignore, whilst confronting inequality, oppression, and social injustice.

The Ink circle once watched, catalogued, and silenced,  becomes an every act of creativity and act of quiet defiance. It is then, the caricturictures, Antonio, Luca, and Ana, continue the Ink’s legacy through poetry, street art, music and dance performance.  Thus, transforming public spaces into living narratives and carrying on, an unfinished story into the future. One that belongs as much to the reader as it does to the page.

Selwyn, the Dragon of Eryri

Selwyn is not the kind of dragon you read about in old stories. He doesn’t guard treasure or breathe fire — he prefers watching the sunrise over the mountains of Snowdonia and making children smile.

But when a fierce storm threatens his valley, Selwyn discovers that being a hero isn’t about strength or fearsome flames. It’s about kindness, courage, and caring for others.

A warm and uplifting Welsh tale about finding your true purpose and learning that even the gentlest dragon can make the biggest difference.
