deep:black director Trupti Magecha alongside young peoples’ psychiatrist Dr Nick Barnes presented our participatory photography project Photographing Feelings at Photo Therapy Day 2020 – an online symposium organised by GRIFO Photo-Therapy Research Group and hosted by The Royal Photographic Society. Trupti spoke about deep:black’s creative whole school approach to emotional wellbeing, shared some of the students’ work and reflected on the process while Dr Nick Barnes spoke about the evaluation that he compiled based on feedback from the students.
We really enjoyed hearing from the other speakers and learning more about the therapeutic ways that photography can be used.
