Spend Your Time Together

Part of a collaboration with Waltham Forest Borough Council.

Myself and award-winning poet Kayo Chingonyi ran a series of 'Survival Techniques' workshops with young people from Waltham Forest Borough who have lived experience of mental health difficulties. It was a series of 6 creative writing and art sessions, spread over 6 weeks. During the workshops participants considered what their own coping strategies are, along with memories, words, sounds, colours and interactions that are important to them.

Drawing on the workshops, I have painted a mural that uses the voice of a participant in its message.
