How We Work
OOSOOM Archive (2013-2022)
The Planning Group works in collaboration with the exhibitors, organisations and the projects partners.
They meet throughout the year, starting in March. They direct the work and some people get involved in specific tasks, such as curation, PR, and the practical tasks.
Planning Group members all have lived experience of mental health issues, they take part on a voluntary basis. Their work and the project are facilitated by the Arts As Advocacy Manager at CAPS Independent Advocacy.
They are a diverse group, some people have been involved for years and new people join each year. People have their own interests and experience in art and mental health. They aim that everyone’s voice is equal in their work. The group’s diversity means that the project keeps evolving and that the needs of people with experience of mental health issues remain at the centre of the exhibition.
