Some of the amazing supporters of Turning Teardrops into Joy are curating an art exhibition in our space at Grant St, East Maitland. The official opening is this Friday (26 April) and the artwork will be on display (and on sale) until 8 May. Part of the proceeds will go towards our Freedom Keys Research Project.

Our thanks to Liz and the other local artists. Like Matt Freedman, these artists have understood that to stand against slavery you don’t have to perform some huge act of heroism — many small drops into a bucket of tears can build up to overflowing joy.

Come along to the opening party to chat, nibble, and to hear more about our anti-slavery project from the principle researcher, namely, me.
