Opening Event : Friday 7th June 6pm- 7.30pm

Tell It How It is - An exhibition that pays homage to the lived experience of carers in the UK

This exhibition aims to capture your attention by utilising the well known form of positive affirmation signs that have become so much part of mainstream culture. Things like  Love Life Laughter or  Living my best life.

 We asked carers to subvert  this aspirational lifestyle form to inform people of  what life is really like if you are a carer.

Successive governments have promised and then failed to address the crisis in care. Everyone knows the system is broken and scarily anyone of us and yes that includes you could become a carer.

It involves giving up freedoms you took for granted and more often than not huge amounts of stress emotionally and financially

Art is not just about painting and beauty, at its best art can inform educate  and motivate us into action

We urge you to come to the “ Tell it as it is “ exhibition and to see and feel what it is like to be a carer

During Careres week the Dry Water team are offering FREE workshops for registered carers - check out the pop up event page for information.
