Description
Scars for Life is an all-immersive exhibition of photos and video illustrating We Get It community members’ cancer stories and the scars they have left behind.
It explores the physical and mental scars of cancer through photography and film.
Join us on Wednesday 9 August 18:00-19:30 at Glenside Library for an open evening. We will be launching the exhibition which is taking place in this space until Friday 29 September. There will also be some words from We Get It’s founder, models from the exhibition and UWE Bristol colleagues.
Refreshments will be provided.
