About Project Twist-It
Project Twist-It is a multi-platform initiative that aims to shift the negative rhetoric around poverty in US & UK. By working with artists, writers and performers to harness the power of storytelling and by elevating the voices of people with lived experience, Project Twist-It hopes to foster a new kind of conversation around poverty.
Project Twist-It is conceived and driven by journalist Mary O’Hara and supported by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
