SAFETY. Exploring the experience of hearing voice and self-harm
COMMONSpace, 17 January – 20 April 2025
This exhibition was an exploration of safety, feeling safe, feeling unsafe, and the journey between the two. The artworks on display were completed at GoMA by members of Time and Space, a support service for people who hear voices and people who self-harm.
Workshops were led by the GoMA Learning Team, with the support of artists Miriam Ali, Abi Pirani, Didi Marina Salonia, and Garry Steven. The artists have supported the group in experimenting with photography, painting, creative writing, and zine making, to express their experiences through these mediums. The results of these workshops have been curated by the group in this exhibition.
