Join us at new venue for in-person artist peer groups, supported by and taking place at London’s fantastic Southbank Centre in central London. After six years we’ve found a new home!

These events are an opportunity to hear from two artists about their practice and meet other artists working in the arts & health sector. Our peer groups provide the space for artists to share active ideas, projects and challenges, with peer support from audience participants. Each artist has approximately 45mins to share works and receive feedback and support from you — alongside designated unstructured time to meet others from a variety of backgrounds and disciplines.

Our two artists this month are Claire Sunho Lee and Jessica Bernard.

Places are strictly limited to those who have pre-registered. We are unable to accommodate walk-ins on the day.

The Southbank Centre is fully accessible. If you have any questions please contact us at info@artsandhealthhub.org.

About Claire Sunho Lee

Claire Sunho Lee is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher born in Seoul, Korea. Claire's practice engages with seeing various meanings within one “reality” by questioning acceptable norms. Having lived in multiple cultures, she often thinks about the ways of “being” and how we exist in the world individually and collectively. She experiments with this idea through the concept of “control and surrender” in everyday life settings and suggests new perspectives to examine the familiar. She is particularly interested in unraveling psychological complications, human conditions, trauma, and more through the means of rules, logic, and algorithms.

Claire will be discussing her ongoing multimedia project <Tell Me What I’m Remembering>:

“Throughout childhood, into adulthood, I have been aware of random imagery in my mind, of memories I questioned were mine. At the age of 23, my cousin accidentally revealed I had leukaemia when I was young. This revelation further fragmented and destabilised the boundaries between the real and the imagined, factual and fictitious memories. Realistic and reasonable explanations have evolved and become simultaneously almost unrecognisable yet “rememberable”. Looking for a stable external framework to rely on to process these experiences, my artistic interests have since developed to take advantage of fixed logic/ rules/algorithms/— one particular way of consistent manoeuvre— to unravel an emotional and/or personal human experience."
