The BUSTOUT 100 exhibition, designed and executed by  Anne Marie, Bickerton and Piluca Camino Alcon is a striking artistic initiative created to raise awareness of breast cancer in partnership with the Pink Ribbon Foundation. This compelling exhibition showcases a collection of 100 powerful black-and-white portraits, each capturing the essence of resilience, solidarity, and hope.

Displayed at Firepit Art Gallery (@art.firepit) in North Greenwich, this exhibition brings together individuals who have faced breast cancer firsthand, alongside those who stand in support—whether they be family members, friends, medical professionals, or advocates. The portraits serve as a testament to courage and unity, reinforcing the impact of collective strength in the face of adversity.

Through striking imagery, BUSTOUT 100 highlights the importance of breast cancer awareness, early detection, and ongoing support for those affected. Each portrait tells a story—of survival, of loss, of love, and of unwavering determination. The black-and-white aesthetic adds depth and emotion, emphasizing the raw and real experiences of those involved.

The exhibition is not only an artistic endeavor but also a movement, encouraging conversations around breast cancer, breaking down stigmas, and inspiring action. It aims to remind viewers that no one fights alone and that raising awareness can lead to greater support, funding, and medical advancements in the battle against this disease.
