This new project invites you to share your experience of donating a kidney and/or living with kidney disease through art. We are looking for different creative pieces of art in any form to capture real life lived experiences. Whether you enjoy writing poetry or painting on a blank canvas, we would like to invite you to share this with us to feature in an online exhibition allowing your ‘expressions’ to be seen and heard.
