Launching on Sunday 14th April and running for 7 days, this private exhibition, curated by @dyaknowwhatimean, seeks to raise awareness about county lines drug networks and UK drug culture through poetry, art and culture. There will be a selection of spoken word performers on our opening night, from the likes of @rob_del_terror, @theblackpoolbard, @ap.writer and our headliner extraordinaire @insta_ap_writer. @poems_as_hand_grenades aka Keith, will be hosting the night. Tickets to the opening are £10 and include free drinks. All profits raised from this exhibition will be donated to Streetlife, a charity in Blackpool dedicated to supporting young people.
