One Hundred Voices is an interactive audio-guided installation giving a creative insight into living in the care system and is an artistic act of recognition and celebration of the one hundred testimonies the project has recorded.
Ten Portraits – a photographic exhibition by photographer Chris Scott. Chris is a Scottish photographer with a care-experienced background, whose style is contemporary with a dramatic and atmospheric feel.
