Can you photograph a dream? Residents from three Jewish Care Homes and younger adults set out to playfully explore this very question.


The week long project in 2015 was led by photographer, Liane Harris and theatre practitioner Lehni Olamide-Norman bringing together an intergenerational group to explore, express and share their hopes, memories and dreams using photography, storytelling and drama.

 We had different traditional views but ended up with two cultures taking photos together.

 Residents and carers engaged with each other in a new way, as they talked about their dreams and had fun with the camera.

The resulting photos are on permanent display in the three homes’ shared communal space, the Pavilion which links the three homes at the new Betty and Asher Loftus Campus in North London.
