Hidden Histories Revealed

DateThursday, October 23, 2008 at 06:54PM

The first phase of the Hidden Histories Project was completed today, after several weeks of work with Derby Hospital. Jo Bell and Hannah Fox tracked down a number of hidden artefacts from the collective histories of Derby Hospital sites - past and present. These objects, photos, letters etc. were used to trigger off conversations with hospital staff and to spark off creative thought. The project has culminated in 100 A3 calendars that count down the months to the official opening of the new hospital site. The calendars have been distributed throughout the departments of the hospital, and our hope is that more artefacts and stories will be revealed!

Phase 2 of the Hidden Histories project is currently being planned and will take place throughout 2009.
