Freedom to Be
On display on the ground floor of Kentish Town Health Centre & across Queens Crescent GP practice.
Freedom to Be was a creative project delivered by us in the summer of the first COVID lockdown, 2020, with funding from the National Lottery Community Fund. This project supported patients that were shielding at the James Wigg and Queens Crescent GP practices.
With extra support and donations from our staff we were able to put together a number of high quality art boxes that were hand delivered to patients in Camden. Each week patients were given activity sheets and art materials to creatively respond to their experiences of the pandemic.
Watch our short film below to find out more about the project. Works made by patients from this project are now currently being exhibited on the ground floor of Kentish Town Health Centre.
Exhibitors include: Gaspar Cardoso, Caroline Sinclair, Premniti Patricia Carr, Syzanne, Jennifer Woolfenden, Barry Callaghan, Kathryn Browne, Sabrina Cordara, Heather Harte, Rosemary Burrows, Beatrice Keane, Rosemary Nicols, Ethel Horacek, Wayne Edward Smith, Tony Byers, Linda Joyce Addison, Lisa Ann Weger-Dennis and Denis Maughan.
Along side capturing our patient experiences of the summer lockdown we wanted to work with our clinical staff and learn about another perspective and experience of the pandemic. We put together sessions in which our staff could decorate leaves with words and patterns that explore their personal experiences.
