CHAT, CONNECT CREATE (2021-2022)
During this project, I worked with a group of women with RCT Domestic Abuse Services, providing weekly art activities that focused on creating art from sustainable, easily accessible and inexpensive materials which aimed to promote continued creative engagement beyond the sessions to support their wellbeing. I was keen for the project to be led by the participants to increase confidence and artistic ability, and allowing them to direct the creative outcomes and session ideas became key to the project. A truly wonderful project, and a privilege to work alongside the participants.
