Last week for we honoured a very special woman, Sally Rowley.
Sally was a client, friend, & champion of SUIT and creative recovery practice in our community, and never gave up pushing forward, smiling, and bringing happiness to us and everyone around her until she peacefully lost her battle with cancer in November.

We gathered at Wolverhampton Art Gallery last week, alongside Asylum Art Gallery & Studios Ltd , Sally's parents Elaine & Phil, Recovery Near You , photographer Graham Stubbs , and researcher Dr Elena Vasilou, to take inspiration and explore Sally's installation in the Spotlight Gallery, titled 'Self Portraits'. The exhibition is part of Asylum & SUIT's [P R O] F I L E alternative art school project, and can be seen at Wolves Art Gallery until 26th April.
Sally's work is a development of viewing the self, her struggles with addiction and later on her illness, and investigates experiences of chemotherapy, pain management, medicalisation of her body & identity, and the gender gap.

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the room and Sally's parents. It was a beautiful day for an incredible and loved woman.

Thanks to Graham Stubbs for the included photos.

Councillor Obaida Ahmed, Cabinet Member for Health, Wellbeing and Community, said: "Gambling harm is a real and growing issue that affects individuals, families and communities across Wolverhampton. Your voice matters – whether you have been personally affected, know someone who has, or simply want to contribute to a safer, healthier city – so please take a few moments to have your say and help us build a comprehensive approach to reducing gambling related harm.”
