The Medical Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture is the only organisation in the UK dedicated solely to the treatment of torture survivors. In 2010, it commissioned artist Angela Catlin and journalist Billy Briggs to work with survivors of torture based in Glasgow. This led to the production of an exhibition, where ethereal and poignant images are juxtaposed with the real-life stories of the subjects and their experiences of torture, poverty and destitution, discrimination and racism.
