All Things Considered: Creative Arts Therapy / Photo Exhibition
Creative Arts Therapy / Photo Exhibition
Last updated: 06 September 2009
Now that anyone can take pictures by the hundred with a digital camera or mobile phone, how important is the work of the specialist documentary photographer? And what difference do a person's beliefs make to the images they produce? Roy Jenkins and guests discuss these questions whilst visiting the "No Such Thing As Society" exhibition currently on the National Museum of Wales in Cardiff.
Also in the programme (Sunday 6 September 8.30pm, repeated Wednesday 9 September 6.30 pm) we hear from a Swansea woman who spends most of her life working in Cambodia. Still recovering from the tyrannical rule of Pol Pot, which took an estimated 1.7 million lives more than 30 years ago, the country remains one of the poorest in the world: corruption is rife, and many continue to be killed or maimed by mines left from decades of conflict.
Carrie Herbert runs the Ragamuffin Creative Arts Therapy project which helps people of all ages rebuild their lives after terrible trauma. On a recent visit home to Wales she talked to Roy about her work and how it has shaped her faith and beliefs.
