Sadly, torture is a reality in many countries around the world, and survivors will endure the lasting effects for the rest of their lives. The Medical Foundation is the only national UK charity that cares for the people who have survived and helps them rebuild their future, providing them with the specialist care they desperately need. For the first time, members of the Medical Foundation's Open Art Studio project, survivors of torture from different corners of the world, are contributing their own fascinating pieces.
