Inspired Lives
A collaboration with Mic Eales, Erminia Colucci and Amy Middleton, Inspired Lives: Understanding Suicide through the Eyes of the Artist is an upcoming exhibition that explores the impact of suicide on individuals and the community through the perspective of artists who have directly experienced suicide. It will involve artists from a range of fields. The exhibition is part of a larger project that includes a book, “To Die or To Live: An insider’s view of suicide through arts by artists who have chosen to live”, co-edited by Dr Erminia Colucci (The University of Melbourne).
The issue of suicide has been explored in two works by Jessica Raschke: Suicide Silence (installed at Kings ARI) and Suicide Spirits (performed at Kinds ARI as part of Darren Valentine’s OMG!).
