About this episode

In this REWIND episode, Gary Mansfield interviews Katie Piper OBE about her life, activism, and the impact of her acid attack.

  In this REWIND episode (recorded: Feb 2019) Gary Mansfield speaks to Katie Piper OBE (@katiepiper_)   Katie Piper OBE is popular TV presenter/personality, model, writer, activist and a whole lot more. In 2008 she was horrifically attacked with acid, severely scarring her face and chest; she also lost the sight of her left eye. Katie later founded the Katie Piper Foundation, helping others’ deal with living with such injuries.   In 2018, Gary Mansfield created an exhibition called FaceValue, where 30 artists would donate a piece of artwork, and I would deface it [aesthetically] in some way. The question was asked, “If something/one has their identity changed by a third-party, are they devalued by society, or viewed as unique?” The artists’ collectively donated the works to the Katie Piper Foundation.     To Support this podcast from as little as £3 per month: www.patreon/ministryofarts   For full line up of confirmed artists go to https://www. ministryofarts.co.uk Email: ministryofartsorg@gmail.com Social Media: @ministryofartsorg   Hosted on Acast.
