“Responding to the past, reaching out to the future, giving voices to those in silence.”
Free Your Mind 2018
Free Your Mind is a non-profit, volunteer-led constituted community group based in Preston. Its specific aims are to run programmes supporting people who experience, or have experienced mental illness.
This group worked with artist Julia M Swarbrick during two workshops creating relief and intaglio prints. The group chose to work with postcards because historically they were an important means by which patients communicated with the outside world, their friends and family.
