Kolours for Kolkata

In 2019, Shane with 4 other artists travelled to India with The Hope Foundation; an Irish charity working with street and slum children in Kolkata (formerly Calcutta), India. They work to free children and poor families from lives of pain, abuse, poverty, and darkness.

The artists painted murals in the protection homes and facilities managed by the hope foundation in Kolkata.

“ I was asked to add some colour and brighten up the entrance to the hospital in Kolkata which provides healthcare to street and slum-dwelling children and adults. This was an interesting space to paint as it was a working hospital with lots of people passing through.”
