‘Us & Them’ exhibition, Epsom

Us & Them at The Horton, Epsom, from 3–25 September 2026.

This thought-provoking exhibition pairs nineteenth-century photographs of patients from Surrey’s psychiatric hospital archives with new “tintype” portraits co-created by photographer Emma Brown and around 50 disabled artists from Freewheelers Theatre & Media.

Filmed oral history interviews with disabled artists, former nurses and relatives of historical patients bring living memories into the exhibition. The project is a collaboration involving Freewheelers, Surrey History Centre, filmmaker Stefan Pollak, Professor Alana Harris of King’s College London, and On the Record.

The full press release and an audio documentary about the 2023 pilot project are available here: https://on-the-record.org.uk/projects/us-and-them-1
