Our Voice

2022

Over two summers, a group of women living in Tower Hamlets, came together to tell stories of their lives through photography, film and radio. Challenges like the cost-of-living crisis, mental health issues and poor-quality housing are part of their narrative, but overwhelming they wanted to tell the story of community and opportunity in Tower Hamlets.

 

Together they created one short film, two podcasts, a photographic exhibition, and a publication.
