PushPull #5: You're Not Alone

PushPull #5 has been confirmed to take place at Bank Street Arts on Thursday 29th March, starting at 730pm. Following on from last month's PushPull #4 at S1 Artspace- our first to feature a guest speaker, the inspiring Theo Simpson- we're delighted to announce that Andy Brown will be coming along to talk about his work on You're Not Alone, a group project initiated by Cat Powell that documents life at Sheffield Children's Hospital.

During autumn 2011 Andy was given unlimited access to the Children's Hospital, with the aim of sharing the everyday experiences of patients, parents and staff. As well as being a powerful and moving project, You're Not Alone was enormously complex and took a huge amount of organisation, so this will be a great opportunity to get an insight into Andy's work and how a large-scale photography project comes together.

We'll also, of course, be screening a selection of slideshows that have caught our eye lately, and serving up as much tea as you can handle. Biscuits may also be included...

If you want to have a look at the You're Not Alone exhibition, which also features photographs by Shaun Bloodworth and Richard Hanson, it's in the Children's Hospital's Long Gallery until 29th June. Viewings are by appointment, which you can organise by contacting Cat at Catherine.Powell@sch.nhs.uk.
