Join Sophie Herxheimer (award-winning artist/poet ) and Laura Mitchison (oral historian with On the Record) for  an oral story-gathering workshop, loosely inspired by “the therapeutic community.” You’ll work in pairs to listen and create a collaborative artwork about a significant relationship in your own life. We will draw on Sophie’s art practice, and Laura’s research into the Cassel Hospital’s “therapeutic community”; a blend of psychoanalysis and peer support.

It is ideal to attend by yourself. If you want to bring someone along, make sure they madden you or intrigue you (or both).

All materials will be provided in this free beginners’ workshop. Please get in touch with laura@on-the-record.org.uk if you need to have your travel costs reimbursed or if you have any other access needs.

This is the second workshop in a season of free creative workshops exploring an experimental psychiatric hospital – The Cassel Hospital in South London.
