Our Future Likes

2018

During this project I worked with young people under section at Bethlem Hospital’s adolescent inpatient unit. The project focused on supporting the young people on the ward to use photography to tell their story of what their experience of being in hospital was like, especially given the strict rules around telephones and technology.

The young people were given digital cameras to document their hospital stay, with images exhibited as part of Bethlem Gallery’s Our Future Likes show, an exhibition exploring the complexities of the lives we live on and off line and ways it can be damaging to our mental health.
