This new photography exhibition aims to shed light on the challenges faced by people who suffer from SMART syndrome, a rare neurological condition which can affect people after radiation therapy. ‘Living with SMART’ explores the relationship between art and the experiences of those affected by this rare condition; Evija’s documentary photographs provide a glimpse into the daily struggles, triumphs, and moments of vulnerability faced by individuals with SMART syndrome whilst Brandon’s poetic and ethereal flower images symbolize the universal language of hope.
