Projecting Grief Webinar

NHS Greater Manchester

Projecting Grief tells the stories of people finding comfort, distraction or hope in a creative pursuit after losing someone they love.

Join us for this webinar to hear how Jo and Laura, following their own losses, have created Projecting Grief, an online gallery exploring the relationship between loss, creativity and healing.After losing her brother Jack in 2017, the last thing photographer Jo Ritchie wanted to do was pick up her camera. But as she started to search for others who had been through a similar experience, she was intrigued to meet many whose grief had been the catalyst for a creation. Fascinated and uplifted by this discovery, Jo began actively searching for people using a creative practice for distraction, relief or an expression and asked to take their portraits. In 2019, she enlisted the help of writer Faye Dawson to interview sitters and write up their stories.Laura McDonagh’s mum Anne died suddenly in 2019. Afterwards, Laura felt compelled to write about family, identity and home; to get things down before anything else could be lost. Laura was featured on Projecting Grief in 2020, before joining the team as an interviewer and writer.<a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.projectinggrief.com%2Fabout&data=05%7C01%7Cjosie.webster%40nhs.net%7Cd92ef5944e6f4d908d6e08dbe504f7eb%7C37c354b285b047f5b22207b48d774ee3%7C0%7C0%7C638355581724441833%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=K0bnhEVON0FhwGbDSofZFDBVUVvaOgbWu4llaWDrhyk%3D&reserved=0" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">About — Projecting Grief</a>The webinar will be held on Microsoft Teams.Please email <a href="mailto:adele.owen1@nhs.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">adele.owen1@nhs.net</a> for the webinar link.Please note:If you are is interested in attending this online event and the link is showing as booked up, please email Adele Owen (<a href="mailto:adele.owen1@nhs.net" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">adele.owen1@nhs.net</a>) to register for a place as we have room for over 25 to attend.
