A bespoke set of flash cards created for use in older adults wards in Mile End, The Royal London, Whipps Cross and Newham General Hospitals. They were produced by artist Ruth Ewan in response to interviews recorded with patients across these hospitals. The images featured were gathered from public archives across East London in response to the stories shared during the interview process. The set was designed by the artist, with designer Sam Blunden, for open use to encourage reminiscence, reflection, conversation and sharing between patients, staff and visitors.
