GROW TOGETHER
Residents of the Kisimul Group
June '24 - July '24
This collage and mixed media artwork comes from 16 individuals who live across 4 care homes provided by the Kisimul Group. The art showcases the creativity, self-esteem, confidence and mutual understanding that has grown and developed through participating in weekly art therapy sessions.
These sessions bring together support staff and residents of the care homes who work with Art Therapist Andrea, using a range of different materials to create personal work and group projects. This enables personal growth, communication and expression of feelings in a safe environment.
One of Kisimul's core values is "Grow Together" and this offers a fitting title for the exhibition.
The Kisimul Group provide quality care services to young people with complex learning difficulties, behaviours of concern and autism. Kisimul recognise the importance of offering alternative ways for their young people to communicate and express themselves, which is where Art Therapy plays a part.
