Artists Matt Dosa and Aoife van Linden Tol delivered a series of art workshops with mental health service users at Blossom Court, St Ann’s Hospital, and the Bridge Renewal Trust, in Haringey London. These workshops were designed to bring cognitive benefits to the participants through creative practice. To grow their confidence, share their stories and allow them to experience new ways of expressing themselves. Matt Dosa collaboratively designed murals for the Blossom Court foyers using the material generated in the workshops.
