The successful artist will;
create textile artwork, deliver six workshops (four with mental health groups and two public drop-ins), and support public engagement.
create an artwork that encourages reflection on historic and contemporary experiences.
explore the lives of women in 19th century institutions.
Collaborate with RMT craft groups such as Slow Stitch who want to make their own creative response to the works of Lorina Bulwer.
Create a safe, meaningful way for people with experience of mental health issues to engage and express themselves (the artist must have experience of trauma-informed practice).
Meet with leaders of the community groups to shape the involvement of participants.
Make it interactive: create opportunities for hands-on involvement, reflection, or discussion for visitors to the exhibit.
