Making Good: Drawing and the Processing of Trauma is a new exhibition in the City Lit Gallery from Tony Hull running from 10th October - 5th November. It includes a specially commissioned immersive film Anamnesis by Monika Kita, and launches as part of this year’s Mental Wealth Festival.
About
Multi-media exhibition
This multi-media exhibition explores how the act of drawing might help to manage the way that traumatic events are processed. It is the culmination of a year-long research project into the visual, cognitive, motor and psychological aspects potentially involved and was funded by an Arts Council England Project Award. This research was initiated in response to Hull’s own experience of drawing through trauma, revisiting texts written contemporaneously as well as forms of drawing impulsively improvised at that time.︽
Anamnesis
The exhibition includes an immersive film Anamnesis by Monika Kita (Venice Biennale, BBC Shorts, East London Film Festival, Museum of Contemporary Art in Oaxaca, Mexico) commissioned as a response to the unfolding research.
Additionally the exhibition sets out the formative stages of a drawing programme in development, one ultimately intended to make the practical benefits of this research available to a wider audience.
Join artists Tony Hull and Monika Kita in conversation on Thursday 13 October, 18:00-18:45 at City Lit as they discuss Making Good: Drawing and the Processing of Trauma, a City Lit Gallery exhibition exploring how the act of drawing might help to manage the way that traumatic events are processed.
