Join us in January at London’s Southbank Centre for our in-person artist peer group of 2024!
Established in 2015 our artist peer groups are an opportunity for artists exploring health and wellbeing in their practice to gain feedback and support on their projects, ideas or challenges that they are facing. The space is for active feedback, meaning that artists aren’t sharing finished works, but asking for specific support from others attending the session. Together we pool resources and provide feedback in a supportive environment.
Our first present artist for this session is Casey Soma. Our second artist Louise Rennie. This session is facilitated by artists Daniel Regan and Camilla Ellingsen Webster.
If you have any questions about the event, including regarding accessibility, please contact us at info@artsandhealthhub.org.

About Casey Soma
Casey is a social entrepreneur and multimedia artist. He is also the founder and creative director of Mad Truth, an arts organisation based around the power of creative expression for improving mental health and promoting personal growth. Through eclectic film screenings, exhibitions, installations and workshops Mad Truth explores the various ways we can access our innate potential through creativity.
Casey will be sharing his project ON MIND:
“ON MIND: A new series of arts workshops through which participants facilitate the creation of evocative and emotive audio / visual landscapes all in real time. With a focus on mindfulness, peace of mind and self esteem; ON MIND involves a combination of automatic writing techniques, storytelling, ambient music and film making / digital arts techniques to create collages of ever evolving sound and visuals - these collages will then be showcased through Mad Truth as public facing installations allowing participants to see their work on a large scale.”

About Louise & Curious Company
Louise has spent 20 years making and performing theatre and circus in places not designed as theatres. This has included street parties, shopping centres and other public and private places. The core of the work has always been about connecting and engaging people and encouraging play, often with the aim of achieving some positive social change. Using the experience gained from this she is hoping to adapt work to support healthy workplace culture using creative and fun ways for employees, managers and leadership to connect and engage with each other and their work. The ambition is to ‘make serious stuff fun’.
Louise will be sharing outlines of 3 projects and looking for advice on how to measure and put a value on wellbeing.
