We created a Carers Strike Art Installation!
Many strikes have happened the last few years and while these were happening we were thinking that carers may never have this opportunity, even though our rights are not being met. Carers can't strike because people are unable to survive without our care, no union to support us and massive levels of guilt.
Invisible Army brought carers voices together to empower and educate.
We asked carers, "If you were to join a carers strike, what would be written on your placard?" and carers answered with over 100 placards!
The placards were displayed at Circular ArtSpace in Fishponds - www.circularartspace.co.uk
Over 50 visitors attended

Thank you! Very moving and thought-provoking! Such a valuable experience.

Such a powerful exhibition, thank you for letting us hear these voices and stories. They feel so important and yet silenced. The exhibitions itself looks amazing. Well done!!

So many voices, thank you so much for sharing them. You are truly special humans.

Thank you so much for sharing our voices. So powerful seeing other carer voices. Sadly they all say the same thing. It's bloody hard being a carer.
