Polytechnic worked with charity Hospital Rooms to help celebrate their ambitious Springfield University Hospital project with more than 20 artworks commissioned to redefine the landscape of mental health facilities.
As a testament to the impact of art in mental health care, this publication documents the process of service user and staff collaboration and co-production, and celebrates the internationally acclaimed and diverse artists who have challenged convention and provoked a spirit of creative exploration within the hospital walls.
David Einwaller’s Flatspot is used throughout in two weights.
Participating artists Linda Bell, Hurvin Anderson, Jasmin Sehra, Michelle Williams Gamaker, Abbas Zahedi, Rubbena Aurangzeb-Tariq, Bindi Vora, Shepherd Manyika, Harold Offeh, Sutapa Biswas, Alvin Kofi, National Opera Studio, Yinka Ilori, Susie Hamilton, Jo Bruton, Libita Sibungu, Nina Royle, Richard Mark Rawlins and Ellie Tsatsou. 🌈
