Films – Places of Sanctuary

Working with Mustard Stories and Anxious Minds Wallsend through a series of workshops, we created this film exploring the group members thoughts and feelings about their community, their memories of its past and their hopes for the future. Together we explored mindful painting and mark marking and collaborated on imagery to visualise their poetry and writing, culminating in this short film.

‘It was such a pleasure collaborating with Lily on our Places of Sanctuary Project. Through her illustration and animation she wonderfully captured the stories collected and truly brought the words of the participants to life. Both ourselves and the members of Anxious Minds were over the moon with the beautiful short animation she created and we would jump at the chance to work with her again.‘
