ART + WELLBEING

Filippos Tsitsopoulos and Damian Hebron

Event starts at 7pm prompt

Damian Hebron has worked in the field of arts, health and wellbeing for fifteen years. He runs a successful hospital arts programme and established and developed the London Arts in Health Forum, where he is currently Director. Damian will reflect on the historic relationship between arts, health and wellbeing, questioning whether the current interest is a fad or something more deeply rooted in human nature; exploring the connections between wellbeing and art, and how this relationship can be developed both as an artistic response and as a social healer.

Filippos Tsitsopoulos is a multidisciplinary artist who has been exploring the limits of theatre and painting since 1990, with installations and theatrical performances at Tate Modern, The Serpentine Gallery, FACT Liverpool, Alte Nationalgalerie (Berlin), and others. Earlier this year, his new project “Is Art Lonely?” was exhibited in Ostend, Belgium.

The £5 Eventbrite Booking Fee is refundable on attendance.
