Who Cares...
Addressing end of life care and cultural difference
Product Description
"In the history of the visual archive and post-colonial critique, it is disabled, ageing and infirm bodies that remain marginal"
— Yasmin Gunaratnam
Who cares? Who is cared for? What are the dimensions of care? The photographs by Sonal Kantaria and Sangita Mistry in this newspaper feel more relevant than ever, quietly yet powerfully probing the intersections of isolation, age, care and migration. Who Cares.... addresses end of life care and cultural difference in the UK.
Yasmin Gunaratnam’s essay In Extremis unpacks unacknowledged realities of the world of aging migrants. She poetically touches on the needs and psychological dimensions of elderly migrants being cared for, and the role of migrants as carers. Kantaria and Mistry's photographs of culturally-specific care homes and residential housing document this world and its residents with dignity and empathy – a kind of care work done with the camera.
