Talking Care

More information on carer's assessments including, things to think about, support and help if a carer needs more support, can be found at infolink.suffolk.gov.uk/kb5/suffolk/infolink/advice.page?id=AEbA09iqa0s

Teddy Terry's Adventures
Film by Terry Gilbert from JumpstART!'s Making Spaces Exhibition Artist Statement "I've created a film about a teddy going to the cinema. I made a model of the perfect cinema where you can have food and drink before you go into the film. The teddy has to get on a bus to get there and this is difficult for him because he can't hear and he can only see a bit. Teddy carries a red and white stick to show that he is deaf/blind. I made this film because I want people to stop and think about what it's like to be deaf/blind."
Wendy's Story
Film by Wendy Rees from JumpstART!'s Making Spaces Exhibition Artist Statement "I wanted to tell the story from the begining, with a nurse in the NHS and what it's like with nurses on the wards now. I am worried because there are not enough staff to care for people properly. I want to make people think about what will happen if the NHS goes private because some people cannot afford more costs. I want people to realise how the cuts have affected the nursing staff. I chose this project because the NHS is precious to this country. We must save it! Save the NHS has involved me creating a costume - a traditional nurse's uniform which I covered in transfers of protest images and information. I made a backdrop of a ward and a nurse's station, I made protest signs as props, I wrote a script, planned a film, made a video and acted out a part."
Space Factor
Film by Andreas Johnson from JumpstART!'s Making Spaces Exhibition Artist Statement "My work is a model and a puppet show of the X-Factor set in space with aliens. I love music, dancing, X-Factor, aliens, space and performing - these are all my favourite things. I built a space stage, some judges and performers and props. I wanted to perform my own puppet show and make a film. I want to create something that makes people laugh and feel happy and feel excited, because that's how I felt when I was making it."
My Bumper Cars
Film by Jonathan Gray from JumpstART!'s Making Spaces Exhibition Artist Statement "I love spending time with my Dad at the fun fair. I like the dodgems best. I like the music and the lights. I like driving cars, it feels great when I turn the steering wheel. I wanted to make bumper cars, I wanted to show the bright lights and the crash, bash, flash!"
