This weekend sees the launch of a temporary exhibition that aims to shine a light on global drug policy, using art, debate and performance to bring the topic to life.

Featuring more than 60 pieces of art from eight different countries, the free three-day exhibition – which arrives at London's Tower Bridge after stints in Montreal and New York – will demonstrate how drug policies affect communities across the globe, with its vivid artworks revealing the dangers of taking a hard-line approach.

Among a diverse roster of artworks, highlights include Collage of Baggies (420 baggies mapped on streets of South East London between January 2013 and April 2016), a two-ton truck Tiki Love Truck covered by Dia de Los Muertos-themed tiles commemorating 43 disappeared Mexican students and a Friday night performance from the Sex Workers Choir.

“Together, these artists provide a powerful, emotional experience that illustrates the harms caused by drug prohibition, and advocates for approaches rooted in dignity, health, and human rights,” said Kasia Malinowska, director of the Open Society Global Drug Policy Program. “These artistic expressions remind us that people affected by drug policies are our friends, sisters, colleagues and that they exist as a part of families and communities.

The Museum for Drug Policy runs from 3-5 November, 47-49 Tanner Street. museumofdrugpolicy.org
