Health Matters
A collaborative film and book project by artists Shona Illingworth and Besa Berberi as part of Stream's Imagine East Greenwich programme, in collaboration with women from the Caletock and Flamstead estates.
The artists initiated conversations with the participants around issues of health, well being, relationships and family, recording the discussions. Adjacent to the estates was the old Greenwich District Hospital, a place where many of the women had either worked or given birth. Access to the site allowed the group to explore associated emotions and memories using song and film.
The film made by Shona Illingworth was screened on the estate alongside a book launch event in the community centre. The film has subsequently been shown in several national and international exhibitions.
