The British telecom company O2 has tapped street artist Slinkachu to create three impressive artworks in order to promote the 20 Years of War Child exhibition, supported by O2. The pieces, which reflect the creator’s signature «little people» approach, are developed to raise awareness of the War Child charity’s missions and celebrate its 20th anniversary. The international charity unites artists and musicians, who contribute to the cause by raising funds to tackle problems of children living in war-torn countries.

In the three installations, “little people” are incorporated into the real-life playgrounds in different parts of London. They are placed along with the ordinary objects like a banana peel, matches and even a snail, which are turned into war-related props—all to highlight how war affects children’s lives.

The public showing, hosted at the British Music Experience, has been created to highlight the “backstage glimpses of the impressive [music] ensembles of talent that have come together for this cause.” The exhibition, which is running from February 19 through March 28, features a plethora of unseen photos by legendary masters, which demonstrate the charity’s strong connection with cultural influencers.

“Our work with War Child helps to get their message out to a wider audience. The aim of the partnership with Slinkachu is to drive talkability and buzz around the exhibition at the BME. Slinkachu’s iconic, signature art perfectly embodies War Child’s message that children should not be forgotten,” commented Mark Stevenson, Head of Priority and Sponsorship, O2, on the project.
