#KEEPINGCONNECTED #WellConnected

During lockdown and beyond, All Change’s Well Versed company of older people, Inspire! young parents and B Creative young women have created a body of original new work for their community, working with Associate Artists Francesca Beard, Cecilia Knapp, Sarah Blanc, Marysa Dowling, Tony Nwachukwu, Paul Lyalls and Leticia Valverdes and in collaboration with House of Illustration.

Some of the work shared here premiered for WORD2020 #WellConnected 17-30 June 2020 - a special ‘lockdown’ edition of our annual Islington Word Festival, presented by All Change and the #WordAssociation - filled with online and offline activities and events, with work by and for isolated older people, young families, young people and those experiencing mental health problems.
