‘Newport Community Champions’ is the third in a series of exhibitions by Kamila Jarczak and Women of Newport. Through Kamila’s photography, the exhibition celebrates the achievements of local women who support others, connect their communities and bring positivity to Newport. Each woman was nominated by a local person.
“Many individuals do brilliant work. We would like to not only highlight them and their stories, but also connect with each other and build a platform for a future based on collaboration, mutual support and inspiration”.
“Women of Newport work with these individuals. This exhibition supports their efforts whilst inviting future skill-sharing and collaboration between their diverse projects, workshops, and inspirational experiences”.
