Conceived and created by Sam Roddick, activist and owner of Coco de Mer, and actress Emma Thompson, along with a team of  internationally acclaimed artists including Turner Prize winner Anish Kapoor and Antony Micallef.

Journey is an art installation comprising seven shipping containers, each telling the powerful and personal story of a woman who was trafficked into sexual slavery. It depicts the seven stages of the brutal reality experienced by such women: Hope, Journey, Uniform, Bedroom, Customer, Stigma and Resurrection.

This profound piece has brought together the artistic skills of a highly experienced and talented team assembled from a range of disciplines including: Turner Prize-winning artist, Anish Kapoor; internationally acclaimed artist, Antony Micallef; Oscar-winning costume designer, Sandy Powell; one of Britain’s leading graffiti artists, MODE2; BAFTA-nominated Art Director, Michael Howells; playwright, Simon Stephens; photographer, James Ostrer; Royal graphic designer, Mike Dempsey; V&A award-winning illustrator, Laura Carlin; trafficked woman, Elena Varga and Lifetime Achievement Award-winner in Human Rights, Helen Bamber OBE.

A host of guests, artists and curators will be supporting this large and provocative art installation, celebrating the third leg of its tour across the globe and its inaugural visit to the USA.

   Is this in London? or New York?
   The images looks like it’s taken in Trafalgar Square, but how come the location says Washington Square Park?
