“Tolerance”, A new exhibition of work by Patrick Altes, an award-winning Algerian-born visual artist of French and Spanish descent who lives in the UK, opens next Wednesday at A Wave of Dreams Arts Lab, St Leoanrds-on-Sea

Curated by Middle Eastern Art specialist Janet Rady and supported by both the United Nations Association and the Arts Council, the show highlights several topical themes, ranging from the treatment of refugees and identity issues amongst the displaced and the diaspora, to negative cultural stereotypes in a nationalistic climate.
