Sheffield photographer Andy Brown, explains this unique exhibition that draws on archive photography, to chart changing attitudes towards mental distress. The anonymised pictures, discovered in the records of the Middlewood Hospital, were taken in the early 20th century.
They’re presented alongside audio recordings by people living with mental health problems today. This exhibition was created by Professor Brendan Stone, Director of Learning & Teaching for the Engaged Curriculum, and
Archive Sheffield - a group of photographers specialising in documentary work.
