RG from @vangoghlondon: At the Crossroads with Vi

RG from @vangoghlondon:
At the Crossroads with Vincent (a Van Gogh Walk): Narrating a unique journey that considers Van Gogh’s time at 87 Hackford Road, this free downloadable audio walk can be experienced and applied to any geographic location.
.
'This is an invitation for those we are self-isolating and in lockdown to use their time to exercise as a simple act of meditative participation in an art piece, by listening to the audio walk on their own. You will be transported to inner landscapes and the world of Van Gogh looking at the city from the perspective of mental health. This is a great way to be outside, walk your neighbourhood alone, and feel gently guided. These 45 minutes will transport you and hopefully offer an relief from the times we are living in.' R.M. Sánchez-Camus.

What a time to have run my Health & Wellbeing thr

What a time to have run my Health & Wellbeing through Artmaking class at CSM. We had 2 days together before the university shut and we agreed to meet via video conferencing. My first time trying to reframe a visual art course for online learning. The group was brilliant and the conversations powerful. Felt like a great creative response to these times. This coming week I'm planning for virtual out reach via SAN LDN. More soon #socialartuk #selfisolation #virtualteaching #artonline #wellbeing

Writing participant evaluation for @tateexchange I

Writing participant evaluation for @tateexchange I visited the takeovers by MA Inclusive Practice of University of Brighton and @cityandislington

Really interesting to see how two educational institutions approach the subject of participation. The college kids were on fire!

Working with the Guys and St Thomas Heath Inclusio

Working with the Guys and St Thomas Heath Inclusion Team to deliver the Scrolled Life workshops at an Asylum Seekers Hostel in South London.
What a life changing and powerful experience to sit with people and work on their life stories through drawing. This particular hostel hosts vulnerable and precarious people, some who have been trafficked, threatened with a bounty or political refugees from state violence.

What you find are everyday people, a nurse, an accountant, a policeman, a refugee worker who is now a refugee, and teenagers who went from childhood to adulthood because of the brutality of war.
Coming out of this experience has really shifted my perspective on how I view the way we live, our simple luxuries of hot water and stocked markets, of a global city and my own personal privilege to have a museum exhibition. I feel more strongly than ever that the only goal worth having is how much we can share what we have. I’ve been humbled and honoured by this work and I really hope it reflects in the final exhibition at @hornimanmuseumgardens

For the last three years, we have been convening Facing Death Creatively (FDC), bringing in artists and therapists who work around death and dying. Always a powerful reminder to value each living moment and be creatively prepared for our last.

Our next one will be in November, keep an eye here and on @stchrishospice for more information closer to the time.

Working with a patient from St Christopher's Hospi

Working with a patient from St Christopher's Hospice who shared his experience of arriving to the UK from the Caribbean and experienced deep racism in the 70’s and 80’s. Though this ruined his love of learning and education, he was able to grow up and escape and become a professional who traveled the world. Though there are challenges in this multicultural society we live in there are also opportunities as we’ll see with the Asylum Seekers stories coming up.

He will be presenting his story at the closing of Misbehaving Bodies at Wellcome Trust on Sunday 26th of January.
