Understanding Disability: Past and Present in the Experience of Care

Join us as we delve into Coram Voice’s newly published report, Disability, Disparity and Demand. This event will provide an opportunity to learn and reflect on contemporary experiences of care leavers and care-experienced young people with disabilities. This event is also an opportunity to view an immersive art installation exploring the past and present of the care system.

Come and experience Coram’s new immersive, audio-visual installation, exploring the past and present of the British care system. Using a blend of media, the artwork explores pertinent, timeless questions about the care system, mixing snippets of life from the Foundling Hospital with those of young people in care today.
