Mental Health in Uganda – a photographic exhibition by Hannah Maule-ffinch

The exhibition documents life for people experiencing mental ill-health in Uganda’s difficult conditions in a series of 40 stunning images. The shots not only provide unique access into hospital life but provide a real insight into the vibrant and inspirational spirit of the people and communities challenging the stigma they face whilst forging an independent future.

Hannah described the theme of her work, “photographing this project has been one of my most rewarding shoots to date. I was lucky enough to gain access to the reality of mental ill-health in Uganda and I wanted to insure that my images were as a true a reflection of the people I met, as possible.

The exhibition will run from 8 October until 18 November 2009.

Address : Together Our Space Gallery 12 Old Street, London, EC1V 9BE
