ABOUT SWEETSHOP
Sweetshop is an art project created by members of the Sweet ‘Art team along with other collaborators that aims to critique, challenge and subvert established and commonly observed strategies and ideas perpetuated in and by the fashion and advertising industries and the general media.
By manipulating, undermining and emulating imagery and text, mirroring and commenting on consumer manipulation, Sweetshop aims to highlight and expose the often sinister, exploitative, manipulative and absurd messages communicated by these industries. Messages that we find ourselves exposed to on a daily basis.
Sweetshop as an art work seeks to highlight and support those exploited, manipulated and potentially damaged by the more insidious elements of our culture.
