Princess Eugenie visited a new art installation outside of The National Gallery in London which was put together by survivors of modern slavery.

The Princess co-founded The Anti-Slavery Collective with Julia de Boinville, and the pair went to see the outdoor exhibition, 'Art is Freedom', in Trafalgar Square on Monday (18 October).

In a post on social media, Princess Eugenie said that their charity was “honoured to co-curate alongside @hestia_charity and these brave survivors who shared their voices and art.”

She described the work as, “an exhibition that was curated and created by survivors of modern day slavery.”

She urged the public to visit if they could, writing in a caption, “I really encourage you to see this exhibition so you can see what you can do to help end modern slavery as well as supporting such strong, courageous artists and survivors.”

The exhibition is at three London locations including Trafalgar Square, in front of the National Gallery, outside South Kensington tube station and also at London Bridge station.

The visit to the artwork exhibition was timed to coincide with Anti-Slavery Day which takes place on 18 October each year.

The Anti Slavery Collective was founded by Princess Eugenie and Julia in 2017 “to eradicate modern slavery for an estimated 50 million people by bringing together change-makers and raising awareness,” according to their website.

In her post, Princess Eugenie added that Hestia, the charity they were working on the art project with, work to help “survivors of modern slavery, domestic abuse, people with mental health difficulties and older people as well as care leavers and people leaving prison.”
