Do you have a personal story that relates to compassionate curation?
Maybe the concept is one that resonates due to feeling excluded in the current landscape…
We are hoping to capture narratives from a range of perspectives to showcase on the network website - we’d love to hear from you if:
-
You are someone who lives with/has lived with mental ill health or distress
-
You use art as part of your process (to feel well/as a safe space/for venting/to work through challenging thoughts)
-
Work with heritage collections (in any capacity, formal or voluntary)
-
Feel museum and gallery spaces should have more to offer on mental health/illness themes
There are no restrictions on format or style, though please read the ‘Points to consider’ section that covers some key information relating to submitting and compensation before embarking on an epic new artwork!
Submission via email: admin@curatorsofinclusion.co.uk
