A new post on A Selfless Art

A conversation with Griselda Goldsborough, of the National Arts in Hospitals Network, is the latest episode of A Culture of Possibility, the podcast I co-host with Arlene Goldbard. It had me thinking about Anne Peaker, a friend and mentor and friend who first spoke to me about the difference between community art and art therapy, There’s a new post on A Selfless Art exploring those issues and the problems of the saviour complex that work addresses.

The photo illustrating this post is from a 1990 project I did with East Midlands Shape, the organisation founded by Anne Peaker, in a closing psychiatric hospital in Derby.
