22 April – 21 May 2010 “Perceived Space” by Angela Corben & Su Joy

Artists Angela Corben and Su Joy are both based in Fordingbridge, Hampshire. Having completed degrees at Winchester and Bath, they have both exhibited widely.

Angela’s landscapes are formed by her direct experience of moving through the landscape by bike and on foot. She captures the mood and atmosphere of landscape and weather. Her work is spontaneous and has a sense of excitement inspired directly by nature.

Su graduated in 2007. It was at Winchester Art College that her interest in photography was born. Her work is an exploration of the blurring of boundaries in space using photography and painting.

This is the first time the pair have exhibited together. Both through photographic and painted image the relationship between physical and non-physical boundaries is explored. The exhibition runs from April 22nd – May 21st.

The political crisis in Ivory Coast has caused thousands of people to flee to neighbouring Liberia.

Oxfam has deployed a team of aid experts and has airlifted relief supplies into Liberia for up to 70,000 people including water tanks and drilling equipment, together with essential supplies such as latrines.

The supplies are being sent to Nimba, Grand Guedeh, and Maryland counties where camps are being prepared for an anticipated quarter of a million refugees.

A massive 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Japan on 11 March causing a major tsunami in the Pacific.

The situation

A severe earthquake that struck the north-east coast of Japan has caused a major tsunami. Serious damage was caused in northern Japan, and the tsunami is now moving southwards across the Pacific ocean.

Many countries are on high alert – Oxfam has staff, partners, and ongoing programmes in the Philippines, Indonesia, and Central America. Our sister organisation Oxfam Australia also has programmes in the Pacific Islands.

People living in coastal areas have been told to evacuate and the strength of the waves appears to be decreasing. However, we remain concerned and are on standby to respond should it be necessary.
