ICA is closed from the 30 May – 3 June inclusive.
Challenging the notion of mental health as primarily an individualised, pathological issue, this panel aims to reframe it as a collective experience shaped by the conditions of capitalism and globalised trauma.
Drawing from Aliaskar Abarkas’ practice, particularly his project All the Whistlers, the conversation will explore how artists respond to external challenges by creating spaces where individuals come together and express themselves collectively as an act of resistance. This discussion brings together Aliaskar Abarkas alongside guest speakers Dr. Martin Hargreaves, Director of Rose Choreographic School, and Dr. Maggie Matic, Curator, Writer, Researcher, and Director of Auto Italia. Together, through open discussion and workshopping these notions, they aim to highlight the transformative power of sound, where individual voices merge into a shared sonic experience, fostering solidarity and conviviality.
