I’M PERFECT Exhibition will be an interactive event about body image and self-love with video, photographs, talks and a concert to empower people to relate positively to their imperfections.
Sorry this project was unsuccessful, we did not reach our fundraising goal.
I’M PERFECT Exhibition is a community project about body image, self-love and empowerment. We invite you to an interactive exhibition with video, photographs, talks and a concert exploring the idea that we can relate positively to our imperfections. Through this fun, artistic and creative format, we want to inspire people to have more kindness for themselves and to experience embracing what makes us human. The exhibition will be divided in 3 main events: Photo & Video display: A dozen people will be portrayed in photographs and video content sharing their humanity and imperfections in an empowering light. Talks: This will be followed by talks hosted by a motivational speaker who is also a plane crash survivor and will share her stories about imperfection, self-esteem and confidence. Live music: To finish off the event, there will be live music and people will get to connect, celebrate and sing along.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Being the best version of yourself starts with rocking your uniqueness! We’re not always reminded to embrace what makes us human and imperfect, this is the reason why the I’M PERFECT Exhibition project was created. We want to create a beautiful expression of a community coming together to explore body positive ideas, compassion and self-love. We could all do with some of that! The format of the exhibition, with photographs, video, talks & concert will also encourage people to think interactively about body image and self-love; not just on a visual level but also on a creative level by interacting with the group, the speakers and musicians. Finally, another goal of the exhibition is to support the amazing and inspiring work of the body positive charity Bossip Gossip to which and all profits from the ticket sale will be donated. We need your support to make this project a reality and it can only go ahead with your help!
Steps to get it done:
The tickets will be £10 per person and 100% of the ticket sale will go to our Partner Charity Body Gossip. Below the link to Body Gossip website if you want to discover more about what they do: http://www.bodygossip.org/

VolunteerAbout 7 years ago, I had a stupid accident, fell and tore the skin off my shin. As I was recovering, I started to become terrified about having a scar for life. Forget about skirts, shorts, dresses, or any outfit that would reveal my legs… After 2 or 3 summers, the idea of hiding my legs forever became too impractical so I gave it up… But I would still feel a massive discomfort whenever walking around with my scar showing.
Later on, I became more self-conscious about a skin condition called acanthosis nigricans affecting my underarms. I spend years and a lot of money trying to “fix it” with creams and skin peels. But it only made it worse leaving me with frustration, low self-esteem and the impression that I was not normal, not beautiful, not blessed…
My latest scar creation (the bumpy keloid scar on my forearm) made me realise that there was a real fight going on in my head: Me VS My body and that I was spending a big part of my time dreaming about being scar free and hating the fact that I wasn’t… I’m still working on it but from the day I started choosing my scars and the way they look, I’ve felt an immense sense of relief and peace. I can now understand that rejecting my body because of the way it looks at any given moment is killing my confidence, my beauty and personality. It stops me from being all the other amazing things that I can be and from rocking my uniqueness!
I’m still practicing it and I created I’M PERFECT Exhibition as a personal challenge to see if I could share my scars with the world. My goal is to raise awareness about body positivity, have more compassion for myself and inspire other people to do the same.
