As a result of conversations between Rosetta Life, Helix Arts, Bristol Black Carers, Kingston Carers, muf/ architecture arts, Caregivers Saathji, India and many inspiring individuals, we are launching an arts  programme that will take the conversations about care away from the hidden rooms of domestic settings and place them at the heart of our public spaces.

This Arts Council England funded project will start in April 2023 and culminate with live projections in Autumn 2023.

Helix Arts will deliver online and in person workshops in North Tyneside in Creative Journaling. Building on the You, Your Art Project in 2022. Carers in Bristol and Kingston will also explore dance and poetry which our carers in North Tyneside can also choose to attend online.

We hope the project will enable carers to take greater ownership of the representation and perception of care in public spaces.
