Description
Can Art Save Us? – Conversations on Arts, Mental Health, Social Justice & Wellbeing.
With diverse, national and international artists, I'm exploring the importance of the Arts and why it makes a big difference to our mental, societal and democratic health. Scroll down for all episodes.
Can the Arts change the global epidemic of mental illness, loneliness, the polarization of our communities and global conflict? The dedicated podcast website has news, videos and interview transcriptions at: www.canartsaveus.com
Be inspired, we talk hip-hop poetry, Islamic architecture building peace, tap dance in protest, surrealism and WWII, life as a drag King, music in war, belonging and Syrian architecture, the Art School for the Homeless, the 1970s West Indian Front Room, inclusive dance and wheelchair acrobatics, British-Pakistani, Black-British, Jewish, and Irish poets and spoken word artists, giant ceramic statements, film and end of life, graffiti art and Muslim faith, shamanic storytelling, a Cameroonian clay addict, a world leading sculptor and icons of Justice, voices of Windrush, prison art, Chilean, Indonesian, Ugandan art, nuns and number one albums, and much, much more. I hope you'll join us!
I’m grateful to all of my guests for taking part and to be able to share their reviews too.
