So pleased to share a recent project I have had the pleasure to document, It’s a project called “our social networks” and it's been run by mencap cymru. Couples were interviewed, audio taken and then booths were set up around the local area of Wrexham for the public to interact, learn and discover about the lives of individuals who have a learning disability. I was lucky to meet two couples, Chris & Di and James and Caroline at Derwen Collage and had the pleasure of working with them to document both of their relationships while learning about their individual stories. |
