Emma Mansfield will lead this workshop with support from the Asylum Stories team. Participants can consider what they do to maintain good mental health and then share a 'visual recipe' with others.
The 'Asylum Stories' project is a joint venture with the Department of History and the Institute of Cornish Studies at the University of Exeter alongside mental health professionals from Cornwall Foundation NHS Trust. This project has seeked to capture and record a written and oral history of St Lawrence's Hospital in Bodmin, the old Bodmin Asylum; studying artefacts and photographs and hosting community engagement events. To date, peoples histories have been archived with CAVA (the Cornwall Audio Visual Archive).
This project has been funded through the Arts Council and Cornwall Council.
Free refreshments will be on offer at all events.
