Self in Transit
Cable Depot
The exhibition is looking at the ways in which we operate where matters of the mind are still a taboo and how language relates to it.
Language is a tool for communication but it can also be unobtrusively oppressive under social norms and social constructs of the time.
Self in Transit explores where language can operate within a framework of power, institutions and control.
Sometimes we need to look at things in a ‘different light’. This can enable us to see what might be going on under the facade of daily language and free ourselves from our predefined and sometimes self-imposed limits.
This intimate and personal work exposes the artist’s own psyche unfiltered as an emancipatory mediatary using language as a subversive tool. This work explores; self policing, shame, cultural hegemony, individualism, psycho-politics, self-exploitation, the myth of *mental health* and other such issues experienced within our neoliberal societies.
