I have worked on a number community focused projects based out of Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery over the years. These range from community consultation sessions to family open days, writers groups and disability projects. All of which require documentation for funding & marketing purposes
In late 2022 I was approached to take photographs for a University of Birmingham exhibition exploring aspects of Home. It was a great project and opportunity to meet & photograph folk with very different experiences including homelessness, involuntary migration and social issues.

…from the University website:
In our recent interactive exhibition, Making Home, we invited you to respond to questions about home and homelessness. You told us that home is more than a physical place and that it can summon up strong emotions. Explore what we discovered about what home means to all of us in our follow up exhibition, A Place to Call Home.
We invite you to see homelessness, adult social care and displacement through the eyes of people who have lived experience, in a new exhibition that shares the University of Birmingham’s latest research.
Through this photographic exhibition meet people from the present and the past as they share their story”.
