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.
More information
We Get It is a Bath-based charity that provides practical and emotional support to people dealing with cancer, as well as their friends and family members.
We Get It joined forces with award winning photographer Sophie Mayanne, We Get It photographer, Holly Webb and with James Stapleton from Jooka Video Production to create this exhibition.
