The conceptual basis for Deep Shelter Project Project (DSP), a project by Pamela Baldacchino, is based on a simple framework – that of reflection, relation and revelation (of meaning). This allows one to analyse the experience of illness, hospitalisation and care, as well as, relate this to the visual art process.

The Deep Shelter Project brings together research within the Psychological Support Services at Sir Anthony Mamo Oncology Centre, sensory workshops with cancer survivors and artist workshops for the creation and donation of artworks to clinical hospital spaces.

The Deep Shelter Project is supported through the Malta Arts Fund managed by Arts Council Malta.
