ARCADIA MISSA book launch
Saturday 10th February 2024 from 2pm-4pm

Location: Arcadia Missa Gallery, 35 Duke Street, London, W1U 1LH


Mental Health and Art in Crisis, guest edited by Dr Maggie Matić will launch on the 10th of Feburary and is now available to order online at Arcadia Missa. 

The invitation to contribute to the publication has been deeply meaningful and I am honoured to have been included alongside the wonderful artists, writers and thinkers Tolu Elusadé, Adam Farah, Micha Frazer-Carroll, Penny Goring, Hattie Lucas, Djofray Makumbu, Will Pham, Giulia Smith and Elvis Universe.

As my contribution, I have written a long-form piece titled 'The Distance Between Two Tears' which takes its title from Shilpa Gupta's artwork (Untitled) The

Distance Between Two Tears, (2021).

Accompanying the essay are three new poems exploring the imaginings, encounters and failures of both the mental health care system and the public art and cultural sector. They speak from the voice of the artist, patient, audience, and system in an exchange that is constantly shifting. 
 
They can be read individually or as a grouping 

• the blue hour

• survival pending revolution

• in this midnight sun
