Tuesday 10 March, 2020. 1pm – 4pm

Mental ill-health amongst artists is three times the national average. To coincide with Confessional’s themes of trauma and anxiety, we are offering free acupuncture sessions for artists in partnership with Extern. 24 places are available and will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Please note: this is auricular (ear) acupuncture rather than whole body. Auricular acupuncture treatment decompresses the nervous system to produce calmness. It detoxifies and balances the body energy channels.

This will be supported with acupressure techniques (which do not involve needles) and complimentary therapies massage – head, hands, full body, reflexology – as well as reiki.

Thank you Extern for facilitating this session.

Intangible Bodies – Paul Moore

Intangible Bodies presents a projection mapped audio-visual installation, that treats the gallery as an interface, where perception, attention, and internal sensation are made spatial and shareable. The work is encountered through movement and proximity, part screen, part stage, part signal field.

twixt – group exhibition

‘twixt takes its name from the notion of being in between, at an interval and interweaving. Recipients of our d/Deaf and Disabled Support Fund grant programme have used the funding to deliver new pathways towards their own goals, some artists pursuing experimental directions or new ambitions – each at their own stage of development and discovery between concept and realisation.
‘twixt showcases the work of some of our twenty d/Deaf and Disabled Artists Support Fund 2025 (DDASF) awardees, including Darlene Corry, Elly Makem, Emma Brennan, Eve Belle, Finn Nichol, Hana Abri Smith, Indigo Azidahaka, Jamie Baker, Jayne Cherry, Kate Guelke, Brian McAvera, Abby Oliveira and Liam Devlin. The exhibition includes ceramics, painting, textiles, music, photography, digital art, spoken word and sculpture.

Charys Wilson – Half Light

The work is inspired in part by the practice of forest bathing, or shinrin-yoku: a Japanese tradition of spending quiet, mindful time among trees. Research shows that this kind of intentional time in nature can reduce stress, improve mood, and even boost the immune system.
For many of us this kind of immersive experience can feel out of reach, especially during the colder months or in urban environments. This installation is a way to bring some of those benefits indoors: a moment of calm, light, and quiet connection.
