In the year of the 40th anniversary of Punk appearing in the UK, AOI has partnered with the Creative Team at the London Mayor’s office to involve our London college member students in a competition to create images to promote the events happening to celebrate Punk. These are being used to promote events over the year.

Punk London is a year long programme of gigs, exhibitions and films that will look back at the excitement and energy of the movement’s genesis, and at punk as an on-going catalyst that continues to inspire, refuse categorisation and spark creativity around the world.

Camberwell College of Art student and AOI member, Richard Manders‘ artwork was used in Time Out in June 2016 (above).

The finalists for the Punk London advert images were:

Henry Mata – BA Middlesex University; Richard Manders – MA Camberwell College of Art; Shazleen Khan – BA Middlesex University; Molly Howard-Foster – BA Middlesex University
