The artworks responded to the questions ‘Where have you been?’, ‘Where are you now?’ and ‘Where do you want to go?’. During our programme, we saw participants use a range of mediums to respond to the questions, from Eugene’s method of collage to David’s vibrant drawings.

We’ve worked with Holborn Community Association for many years, mainly delivering our Make Sense programme, but also the Summer University for local children. This exhibition kickstarts HCA’s 35th anniversary of their constitution. Across Arts, Movement, Play and Care, they have created inclusive and welcoming spaces for the Holborn community, supporting individuals to build skills, confidence and overall wellbeing. The arts programme, specifically focused on in this exhibition, embodies the ideas of the taking part and the coming together, as a way to improve mental health and reduce isolation.
