Abide (b. 1971) has been a community artist since the Nineties. Following a period where he spent more time organising than delivering creative workshops, he moved into youth work around 2010. Rekindling his creative practice and taking it into a new direction, he began working as a street artist, looking for mural commissions for himself and to share with some of the young people he worked with.
Now, as a professional counsellor, he mixes his own creative practice with workshops and projects for some of the more vulnerable young people in society.
