Organised by Soho Curious & Co
'SO CURIOUS' is a monthly event curated by Arts Consultancy SOHO CURIOUS & CO
This month we'll be returning to De Beauvoir Block in east London to host an evening of creativity and conversations on THE ART OF WELLBEING.
We will be exploring the notion of art as therapy for anxiety and depression and examining the healing nature of making and engaging with art. Through discussions with our stellar line-up of speakers, we will explore the importance of our living and work environment and look at how creativity can increase self love in a world that is full of negative imagery and stereotypes.
We will be joined by:
- World renowned contemporary urban artist RICH SIMMONS, whose work has been exhibited globally and counts celebrities, royalty and musicians as collectors. More recently he founded 'Art Is The Cure' a charity set up to spread the message of creativity as therapy for mental health.
- Creative consultant, writer and founder of award winning project, Visual Diet, MIMI GRAY will be talking us through the project and providing insights into how what we see affects our state of mind.
- Contemporary visual artist JESS COCHRANE, whose work explores narratives around beauty in the digital age, will be doing a live large scale painting throughout the evening.
- THE BOTANIST gin, which is conceived, distilled & hand-crafted on the island of Islay in Scotland, will be providing us with free cocktails for the evening.
- The wonderfully creative and considered HOUSE OF CANS will be bringing the beers.
