Recordings filmed across Stockton and live performances were brought together in a public event in November 2025, reflecting the town’s diverse voices. The project involved three rooted communities at ARC: Full Circle, an award-winning learning-disabled theatre company; refugees and asylum seekers; and adults taking part in ARC’s weekly creative classes, such as ukulele class.

Johannah’s photographic work focuses on telling stories about people’s lives shaped by the connection to ourselves and to each other. Moving between portraiture and documentary, her practice is characterised by an emotional exploration of what it is to be human. Her central concerns are people, wellbeing, connection and belonging, continually drawing from her own life and experiences working in healthcare.
