Inside Out 2021

Our new Inside Out project for 2021 sees care professionals in three care homes in East London working in creative collaboration with Magic Me artists.

Generation Rebellion

Generation Rebellion is an exploration of being an activist. As we enter the 2020s the Earth seems to be shouting at us about climate change, but how can we really make a difference? What could we do together as a group of intergenerational women that would get our voices heard?
