Emily’s artwork featured in Doncopolitan issue 11, themed #ComeJointheParty and is collected internationally.

A Hidden History explores the stories of Romany Gypsies and Travellers who have lived or reside in Doncaster. The project is led by Paula and Violet, both Romany Gypsies who currently work as engagement officers for CVS. Although Gypsies and Travellers have lived in the Doncaster area for hundreds of years, this is the first exhibition showcasing Gypsy and Traveller life throughout the 20th century. This project tells the story of a culture’s hidden history through photography and precious belongings. Join Paula & Violet on Thursday 18th of August 11.00am – 1.00pm for a talk and discussion about the #ProudGypsyTraveller project. Exhibition opens on 13th August.
