It was officially launched at the University on 9 March with an exhibition of striking photography, clips from each of the contributors’ stories as well as posters and wall vinyl on display. You can view the speeches from the event below:
Rio 2016 silver medal winning boxer Joe Joyce, 31, features in the campaign and the former fine art student speaks glowingly about his time at Middlesex. He said: “When I was at Middlesex, I was juggling training to be an athlete with doing my degree and making my paintings.
“It was great having that opportunity to mix sport and art. Before I came here, I was like every other young person: struggling with what I wanted to do with my life. I was good at art and I was good at sport but Middlesex University helped me to find myself and my style".
