25 November / 1 – 2:30PM / ZOOM / BOOK HERE
Panel discussion with photographer Tadhg Devlin, staff from Community Integrated Care, and Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust in association with Liverpool SURF group.
Join us for the second half of our Who’s Left Behind? series – a programme of events focusing on the voice of the social care sector and work with older communities in the wake of the global pandemic.
Photographer Tadhg Devlin has been working with a number of staff from the care sector, in his on-going series ‘A Portrait of Care’. Together they have been co-authoring images which represent the experience of working in the care sector in some of the most challenging times, whilst also celebrating the everyday work to support people who access social care which can often be hidden from the public.
Tadhg has simultaneously begun a new co-commission with Open Eye Gallery and Mersey Care NHS Foundation Trust in association with Liverpool SURF group. The project is still in its early research phase, but began with an early public call for people to contribute to ‘Dementia Eye: A View to Remember’. This was a call out to people living with Dementia to share photographs of their ‘view’ over the past 12 months whilst living in lockdown. The images collected would then act as the inspiration for what the group might develop themselves over the next year.
Tadhg will showcase works in progress from both collaborations and we will hear from SURF and Community Integrated Care about their experiences on the projects to date. This event is taking place online via zoom and we welcome you to join the discussion through a Q&A.
