ARTIST PROJECT INSPO:
Project inviting different artists to create work in response to toxic masculinity and men's mental health.
"
Alice Aedy is showing a photographic portrait of her younger brother, who has suffered with depression for many years, and worked with her on the series to “question the notion of putting on a brave face”. Alice says the shot “confronts the viewer with the isolation and withdrawal felt by those suffering with this silent epidemic”.
Eloise Knights and Jude Gardner-Rolfe are showing a film, Alpha Tools, that looks at the effect of controlling your behaviour to fit with restrictive ideas of masculinity. “Jude is a gay man, and so the ideas stem from his experience of dealing with the mental struggles of policing his own actions in order to be less outwardly ‘feminine’ growing up. We wanted the film to have an exhausting pace to it.”
Also on the roster for the show are Wilson Oryema, Oliver Macdonald Oulds, Raf Fellner, Greta Bellamacina, Carlo Volpi, Norm Magnusson, Celia Delaney and Eliot Fox."
Range of artwork provides layers of perspectives towards this problem/topic.
Could I create a space for this topic to be explored?
