Voiceless Isolation Kings College
An exhibition of poetry and drawings about the difficulties and distress of healthcare for the elderly.
What happens when health and social care professionals tell you that your parents are no longer well enough to look after themselves at home?
Originally exhibited at Sandy Hill Arts in Corfe Castle, Dorset in Summer ’24, the Voiceless Isolation exhibition takes its title from a new book of poems by Anne Murphy. The poems are Anne’s response to her own grief at the loss of family members, and her increasing frustration with the failing bureaucracy she faced when accessing care. The drawings in the exhibition are by Anne’s brother, illustrator Tony Kerins.
They are not illustrations to the poems but rather his own parallel response to the same period of their lives.
Anne Murphy and Tony Kerins will talk about their work, with readings and Q&A, on Wednesday 28 May 2025 from 17.30 at the Education Hub, IoPPN.
