The initial two research sessions will involve handling archival material and searching for anything that might connect to the topic of Wellbeing and Mental Health, such as imagery, text, quotes and medical advice (which is frequently alarming and out of date, but provides a fascinating insight into the thinking of the time). In these first sessions we’ll be collecting and photographing suitable material to print out and use in the zine. Both the research sessions and zine making will take place in Augustine House:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
