It Takes A Village exhibition - Mitchell Library

It Takes A Village exhibition - Mitchell Library

Organised by Glasgow Life

5-11 May

Mitchell Library, Glasgow

This event is open to the public.

There is an old African proverb –‘It takes a village to raise a child – meaning, children need the input and support of their whole community to grow into well-rounded adults. But doesn’t it also ‘take a village’ to support someone who is dying?

The Scottish Partnership for Palliative Care has worked with award-winning Glasgow based photographer, Colin Gray, to produce this powerful and challenging series of portraits and personal stories. It Takes a Village explores the idea that as people’s health deteriorates, care and support comes in many guises.

This exhibition will be on display at the Mitchell Library for the public to view during Demystifying Death Week.
