This creative workshop explored how the home influences mental, emotional and physical wellbeing, using art as exploratory tools alongside discussion, singing and dance to uncover how housing distress is experienced and embodied. The workshop was held in Birmingham with a collective of Somali women and this piece shares a selection of their paintings.
