Thoughout the twelve week project, over 20 clients at First Base explored ideas around life and selfhood by examining living in the city. Through autobiographical writing, performance and film-making, the group created weekly video diaries and a final film.

The exhibition ran at ONCA Gallery in May 2019 during the Brighton Festival. The final film, which uses a collective poem created by the group, ran alongside shorter process videos.
