This piece discusses how a community arts exhibition produced by a group of mental health service users can be a form of knowledge production. With the potential benefits of reduced stigma and emancipation for those involved, whether exhibiting or interacting with the exhibits. The author encourages service users and clinicians to jointly explore how 'beyond text' media, including art, can be co- produced together as part of group work to inform and supplement more traditional forms of knowledge and research.

This article focuses on the authors experience of facilitating a Photovoice project within the context of a government funded outreach mental health team based in the UK. An auto ethnographic lens was used to explore the experience of being simultaneously a facilitator, researcher, participant and mental health professional during the project. Photovoice is a participatory action research methodology which values and shares peoples’ expertise and intimate knowledge of their own communities, through the use of photographs and written captions. The theme for this group project was: the experience of participating in social activity groups that were facilitated by the outreach team. This article discusses and reflects on Photovoice methodology, and considers the multiple roles adopted and how this relates to insider and outsider positions whilst working with groups. It is suggested that the notion of co-curation could be used to further understand and explore the exhibition that was produced. Co-curation is the process of collecting artefacts to produce an exhibition together which represents a shared aspect of life. In this instance photography is the chosen medium to facilitate co-curation. (Edited publisher abstract)

This article explores some of the images and words that service users choose to capture and represent their unique spirituality. It was written using material that service users produced as part of two projects focusing on spirituality and hope. The first project involved a group where service users were given a camera to capture something that represented their spirituality. The second project involved producing material for an art exhibition entitled Growing Hope, that was showcased in Sheffield as part of World Mental Health Day 2009. The article is written by an occupational therapist working in an assertive outreach team (SORT) in Sheffield, and a service user who worked on the two projects and who has an interest in spirituality. They reflect together on the process of being involved in the projects and the meaning of this piece of work. The article was written together to try to capture a range of perspectives.
