The Art of Loving an Addict - a vox pop Drawn to a Deeper Story

Loving an addict is one of the hardest things someone can do. This week we hear people's reactions to Antonia's Rolls' exhibition, 'Addicts and Those Who Love Them'.
In episode 1 of Drawn to a Deeper Story, Antonia spoke about being the parent of an addict. She invited me to her exhibition in Brighton and I went along to to talk to people as they came out.
This type of exhibition creates a visceral space and being part of people's processing experiences felt like an important conversation to have.
See photos of the exhibition.
