Save the date! Join us for our in person artist peer group at London's Southbank Centre - a chance to hear from, support, and meet other artists in creative health.
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. There’s time at the event to meet others working at the intersection of arts and health, and connect, too.

Our presenting artists for this session are Daniel Regan & Sam Ulla Lindsay - read on for more information.

About Sam Ulla Lindsay.
Sam is a socially engaged practitioner living off-grid on the Kennet and Avon Canal aboard a 40ft narrowboat. Her practice focuses on lived experience, memory, grief and well-being.
“Through connecting with nature the canal forms part of my healing process. I use photographic and moving image to explore and encourage reflection and conversation.”
Sam will be sharing her work from Afloat, a series of self-portraits exploring her personal experience of grief and loss and healing journey through life on her narrowboat. This combines with a moving image installation that reflects on Sam’s past and present using her father’s voice as her own.
