About the exhibit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on research from the Complex Emotions Hub<\/a> (UKRI funded research based at the University of Sheffield), Many Faces, Many Stories is a co-created ceramic installation by sculptor Angie Hardwick that challenges the stigma around complex emotional needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With lived-experience contributors, the artist presents sculpted heads that reflect the different ways complex emotions are experienced and understood. This project invites visitors to look beyond assumptions and engage with the human stories behind them. The installation highlights not only challenges but also strengths, creativity, coping, and the many ways people build meaningful lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
