Exhibition by Happy Looks Beautiful
About the Creation
Happy Looks Beautiful created an exhibition of photographs which were displayed at the Haringey Feast.
The photographs tell the story of the community group of 25 women called The Beautiful Speakers who met at classes held in Hornsey Library to develop skills in confidence building, public speaking and storytelling techniques. Happy Looks Beautiful encouraged women of different races, cultures, and backgrounds to form connections.
Happy Looks Beautiful also brought an empowering storytelling and public speaking performance to the Haringey Feast.
