We worked with visual artist Alice Marcelino to develop a response to our initial findings about the everyday outdoor experiences of babies and toddlers from diverse cultural backgrounds living in London. Having shared the findings we co-developed a brief for a photographic project inviting parents and caregivers to submit a selection of photos that reflect everyday interactions of their babies and toddlers both indoors and outdoors. Once submitted, Alice then analysed the photos and created thirteen images to provoke discussions about the place of babies in outdoor spaces. Half of the images explore the idea of ‘where are the babies’ whilst the others play with the idea of child/nature and indoor/outdoor dualities.
You can listen to Alice talking about the project and see the full series of images in this video:
