Hosted by Stella Ioannou, Sculpture in the City Artistic Director & LACUNA Founding Director; Dr Kate Martin, Head of Lived Experience at Wellcome Trust; Anna Woolf, CEO of London Arts and Health; and Bablu Miah, Head & Founder of Trapped in Zone One.
Join us once again at the long table, as we discuss the intersection between the arts and mental health & wellbeing.
“My hope in art is to spread the joy and the love of being human. I think a lot about what it means to be an artist in the world today. It is a time of much turmoil and strife. And yet, we can see light all around us.”
Yayoi Kusama

About The Long Table:
The Long Table is a format for discussion that uses the setting of a domestic dinner table as a means to generate public conversation. Conceived in 2003 by Lois Weaver in response to the divided nature of conventional panel discussions, the Long Table allows voices to be heard equally, disrupting hierarchical notions of ‘expertise.’ It was inspired by Maureen Gorris’s film Antonia’s Line, the central image of which is a dinner table getting longer and longer to accommodate a growing family of outsiders, eccentrics and friends – until finally it has to be moved outside. Since then, the Table has been set at institutions and festivals worldwide and invited hundreds of people to sit and share their views on myriad topics. The Long Table is an opensource format; anyone is welcome to use it as a means of generating discussion on any subject you choose.
