-Please 'SUPPORT' our 'WORK' with 'DONATIONS' click on www.richesuncovered.co.uk - and also for INFORMATION on future 'EVENTS' and 'CONCERTS' Hi - My name is Clare Newton and I'm the founder and Director of a small UK based Charity, called NEWTON'S HERITAGE ART PROJECT. Over the years we have held a number of public events and open air installations that integrate both Artists and Community. The purpose of this has been to involve the Community in actively preserving their environment, we have found that the role of the Artist in all of this, is often to highlight aspects of everyday life which communities often take for granted and are therefore not properly valued. A consequence of this is that often radical changes/development take place in Communities and people often feel that these changes are occuring without their consent or interests. I suppose in a nutshell what we are trying to highlight are those aspects of Community life we often regard as 'ordinary' but are vital in that they express through Culture, Music, Local Buildings what it is to be Human. Such an increase in Consciousness and awareness is taking place all over the World particularly in Non - Western Countries and Cultures. I hope that this Channel will provide a Forum for meeting such groups, for sharing ideas, offering help and support.

Gangstas for Life explores the fashionable practice of skin bleaching within Dancehall culture. The images raises questions about perceptions of masculinity within Jamaican dancehall culture. The images are deconstructed into stereotypical homosexual beauties, with bleached faces, red glossed lips, glitter and feminine motifs. These images challenge practices of the emasculation of young black males and question stereotypical standards of beauty amongst genders .The dancehall has become a place of major cultural significance amongst young working class Jamaicans. It is the community waterhole where one learns about the latest slangs, songs, dances, fashion and social gender practices. The Dancehall is the belly of Jamaican society that reaffirms, reflects and assigns labels as it relates to social norms or behaviors deemed deviant with Jamaican society, such as homosexual stereotypes This body of work explores contemporary notions of beauty within a Jamaican context. Exploring the grotesque as the sought after beauty. It seeks to examine the dichotomy between Jamaican stereotypical ideologies of homosexual practices and its parallels within dancehall culture, where skin bleaching (whitening) has become trendy and fashionable primarily among young black males. This work raises questions about body politics and gender, gender and beauty, beauty and stereotyping, race and beauty, beauty and the grotesque

Last year a study revealed that nearly one-third of their gay community may be infected with the virus that causes AIDS, but the Island's public health response remains paralyzed by homophobia as the epidemic continues its uncontrolled spread through Jamaican society.
