From 2019-2021, Known in Your Bones - an All Change arts and heritage project supported by National Lottery Heritage fund - brought women of all ages together to explore the story of our relationship with sunshine and Vitamin D. A team of young women [aged 16-25] worked with artists and heritage professionals to research archives and collections at London Metropolitan Archives [LMA], Museum of London - Centre for Bioarcheology, Wellcome Collection, Autograph and The Royal London Hospital Archives and Museum. They co-created a community engagement programme in 2020 and a Festival of Sunshine at The Story Garden for a public audience in summer 2021.
