PHOTO JOURNALING 2021
At the start of the 3rd lockdown I felt the need to connect with mothers and carers who felt a deep change in their caring roles and the weight of it.
As a Founder Mother and advisor of the Maternal Journal project since 2017 I have experienced first-hand how journaling improves people’s wellbeing.
Looking forward to develop this new route in my professional practice I decided to combine two of my passions, photography and community work facilitating a space for reflexion, connection and exchange using mobile phones' cameras and journaling exercises as guides.
In February 2021 with Artists Network Sutton Grants' support this adventure started.
​
We met online, once a week , through workshops I helped them to write and photograph their daily life and I also photographed them. At the end of the workshops I edited and produced a catalogue of the work, which was published at the end of May 2021.
Our meetings were intimate , intense and revealing. The work produced o paper reflected strong and personal feelings ,ergo this publication focuses on the photographic outcomes.
