Art Against Knives was brought to life in 2009 when co-founder Katy Dawe, a student at London's Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, organised with friends an exhibition to raise money for their fellow student Oliver Hemsley, who was the victim of an unprovoked stabbing in Shoreditch in 2008.
