A new project exploring self-image through photography and poetry will be showcased towards the end of this year – culminating in an exhibition at London’s Hospital Club from September 14th to 16th.
Nimbus is a photography-training programme created by Marksteen that teaches Corporate employees how to capture and express their organisation’s brand through photography.
THE STATIONS packs will have arrived on the desks of 30 key Conservative Party MPs this morning, just in time for the vote this afternoon on the amendment to the bill to bring in 3000 unaccompanied minors from camps in Europe.
The Hospital Club on London’s Endell Street will play host to Marksteen Adamson’s Behold the Man exhibition. Behold the Man is an exploration of homelessness and addiction. It’s about giving too. About how we choose to give, and what we give.
The Stations project has won three awards and the Stations direct mail pack has won Best in Show at the US based Mobius International Awards.
The Stations pack has received a nomination for a Roses Award in the Direct Mail category.
The pack was sent out to MPs and Lords in April 2016 as part of the lobbying campaign to overturn Parliament’s ruling on the Dubs Amendment which blocked unaccompanied minors from coming to the UK.
EXHIBITION COMING SOON TO LONDON

Social media, self expression and self identity is a growing problem for young people. Finding a way through the ‘selfie’ culture, fake Instagram lives and trying to establish a true identity, has never been harder for young people as it is today.
Alan Today
While the exhibition was going on at The Wilson Gallery in Cheltenham I gave Alan a box of books and he was selling them a lot faster than me. I had to keep topping him up every day until I realised I might kill him faster.

I’ve grown to learn that the memories my children treasure the most are the times when we have made things together. It gives us time to connect with each other and together we learn new skills and more about ourselves…
