Arts Council, Grants for the Arts Award, February 2015
'Conversation Points' will explore and make public the idea of dialogue within the psychiatric hospital. Through artist-led workshops and collaboration with service-users and staff, the artist will stage conversations between staff and service-users and create installations - seats, stages, debating spaces. The installations will become the site for service-user led performances and events based on the theme of 'Patient Voice'.
