In 2021, I received the a-n Artist Bursary Time, Space, Money to create a ‘Contract of Self Care’ to support a best practice model for artists who have a social practice as well as the participating members of the public involved in their projects.
A group of artists have been inspired by the historic records of Shepton Mallet Prison, including “crimes” such as being a Suffragette or the theft of butter.
The artists will be spending time in the prison to create work inspired by the building and its history.
