Beacon of Hope at Southwark Cathedral

Southwark Cathedral in London is currently hosting Christian Aid's stained-glass 'Beacon of Hope' - an awe-inspiring spectacle of light and colour with messages of hope to lift everyone's spirits.

The Beacon illuminate five powerful messages of hope about hunger, equality, health, climate, and injustice.

Each message of hope was brought to life by Ugandan artist, Matt Kayem in Kampala. Matt's work explores identity, race, history, and culture through installations, collage-paintings and photography.

Working in his signature style Matt used recycled denim, sourced from the markets of Kampala, then stretched onto frames, as the unique canvas for his vivid, colourful creations.

The exhibition runs until 29 January 2023.
