Heart of Care at Ancient Market House

The culmination of a two-year project working with carers, who are often excluded from cultural activities because of their responsibilities, Heart of Care is an artwork made up of a series of images with a sound score that will be projected in public spaces. The artwork will shine a light on the invisible role that carers play in families and communities, and challenge the perceptions of care in an inclusive society. The images were inspired by the movement workshops and were developed into curated images, and express the compassion displayed in the role of carer. The artwork will be over 10 metres high and projected over the course of one to two hours, accompanied by original music composed by Matthew Peters blended with poems written by carers and recorded in their own voices.
